Workshop Title: Analog and Digital Photography with a Pinhole Camera

Instructor: Jaume Escofet

Brief Description: Traditional photographic cameras, whether analog or digital, form the image on a sensitive support. This support can be a film or photographic paper in the case of analog systems or an electronic sensor in the case of digital systems. In all cases, the element that forms the image is an optical device, called a lens, which contains an aperture and a set of lenses. In this workshop, photographic images will be formed with the simplest optical device of all: a small hole or pinhole. Cameras of different sizes and shapes will be used for this purpose. In the case of analog images, development will be carried out in the laboratory. Digital images will be processed using software.

Course and Level: High school students.

Availability: Second semester. Day of the week: Tuesday morning.

Workshop Schedule: From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Duration: 3 hours.

Maximum Number of Participants: 10 people.

Cost: Materials must be paid for. These include: developing fluids and photographic paper. Price: 50 euros/group.

Location: FOOT

Detection and Prevention of Visual and Auditory Dysfunctions in Primary and Secondary Students

Description of objectives:
  • Assessing the incidence of visual dysfunctions (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, lazy eye...) and hearing in primary and secondary students
  • Knowing the state of ocular motility and visual perception capacities in primary and secondary students
  • Applying preventive programs to improve visual and auditory attention in reading and writing activities
We want to involve students to increase awareness of the importance of primary visual prevention in schools and the key role they can play in the knowledge society. In this way, in addition to introducing students to the world of research and service, we are incorporating the active teaching methodologies promoted by the EHEA (European Higher Education Area).
Researchers: Montse Augé Serra (auge@oo.upc.edu) and Marta Fransoy Bel (fransoy@oo.upc.edu).
