The “Room of Light” opens at the MUDIC museum of Orihuela
A new area has been opened at the MUDIC – the museum of interactive science –, devoted to experiments on the science of light. This museum, located at the UMH campus of Orihuela, is intended to make science of interest for the general public, but mainly to young students, by means of interactive and funny experiences. This new area of the museum is named the «Room of Light» (la Sala de la Luz), and it covers a set of experiences with light and color.
The opening ceremony was organized at EPSO – Escuela Politécnica Superior de Orihuela on December 3th 2015. The event was cochaired by Prof. Jesús Pastosr Ciurana, Rector of UMH, and D. Emilio Bascuñana, major of Orihuela. Ignacio Moreno presented the opening lecture «Optics & Photonics: MUDIC brings the science and technology of light». A video of this opening can be viewed at: Video link (in Spanish).
Ignacio Moreno has cooperated with the project as a scientific advisor, and has worked with Jesús Carnicer, the MUDIC pedagogical director, and Rocío Espinosa, one of the MUDIC monitors, in the design and developments of some of the modules.
