Abstract

Spreading optics and photonics arises as a pivotal duty for researchers in the field, aiming to inspire new generations of students to pursue a scientific career. Furthermore, essential abilities for researchers such as explaining science to an audience or approaching concepts in a visual manner can be easily learnt whilst performing science fostering activities. With these ideas in mind, USCOPTICA Student Chapter and Santiago USC YM Sections were born. Bachelor and Master students and early-stage researchers collaborate in our group, performing diverse outreach sessions, comprising hands-on scientific workshops in schools and science diffusion events, roundtables raising awareness on social issues in Academia and cycles of conferences in collaboration with other student groups. The following aims to share with the scientific community our major activities in the last two years.
