Saturday Morning Science! Making a Pinhole Camera

10 am to noon
Taught by Mark Kent

Pinhole Camera
Children will make their own pinhole camera to take home and learn about the properties of light that make this possible.

Essentially a pinhole camera projects an image onto a screen. The device consists of a box or a room with a tiny hole in one side. Light from outside the box/ room passes through the hole and strikes the interior surface; the image is upside down, but is reproduced faithfully in terms of color and perspective. The image can be projected onto paper, and if traced will provide a very accurate representation.
