Time:	3pm - 4:30pm
Venue:	Chong Yuet Ming Chemistry Building, HKU Main Campus
Lanuage:	English
Capacity:	20-30
The ability to produce light always fascinates humankind. In this campus visit, we will conduct several hands-on activities to explore the chemistry of luminescence. We will introduce students to the basic concepts of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, and Light-matter interactions such as colour, absorption, and luminescence. Through this visit, students will understand the phenomenon of luminescence of organic and inorganic molecules, some of which are found in our daily lives. A brief introduction to luminescent nanomaterials and their applications in new technologies will also be given.

**Please note that teacher(s) shall be included in all capacity requirements listed above.**
