1. Introduction

In February 2015, Mr. Mu Ku Chen was elected to be the new president of

SPIE NTU Student Chapter. He dedicates to organize many activities with other

officers and chapter members. NTU Student Chapter has invited many excellent

experts to give talks in optics, nanophotonics and others, which deeply inspire us with

some interesting and wonderful ideas. We hold the student chapter exhibition to

introduce the basic knowledge of optics and history of SPIE student chapter to high

school and university students every year in NTU, which always attract wide

attentions and responses.

The members of NTU Student Chapter reach to 21 people this year. Thanks to

the support from SPIE, NTU Student Chapter will keep holding more photonics

activities and sharing the valuable experience with attendances in the future.

2.2 Student Chapter Exhibition in NTU

NTU would hold a Student Chapter Exhibition which is one of the most

important activities at the beginning of semester. We introduce optics and SPIE

student chapter for high school and college students. During this exhibition, we have

two major goals to achieve. The first one is to educate senior students, we prepared

many easy and important optics phenomena, such as fiber, hologram and rainbow

glasses. The second goal is to share the amazing phenomenon of optics to the younger

students with laser games. We attract lots of students’ interest in optics after these

demonstration.

There were more than 300 people visiting our student chapter stand, and we

introduced SPIE student chapter and daily activities we held, some of the student also

asked our contact information and join our chapter after the exhibition.

2.3 Exhibition in Taipei First Girl High School

Taipei First Girl High School is the best high school in Taipei. When the

Celebration of Taipei First Girl High School in December 2014, we hold an

exhibition about the optical game and optical experiment for them.

The main goal is encourage their interest in optical science and then

we hope that will be increase the number of the women scientists in

the future.

In this summer, we organized a short course about metasuface. Metasurface is

the one of the popular topics in the optical science. We invited Prof. Din Ping Tsai,

Prof. Shulin Sun and Prof. Chih-Ming Wang to give our members short course. Prof.

Shulin Sun is associate Professor of Department of optics science and engineering in

Fudan University. Prof. Chih-Ming Wang is associate Professor of Opto-Electronic

Engineering in National Dong Hua University.

There are three part in this short course, which includes the principles of

metasurface, How to design metasurface, simulation and experiment. All of speakers

shared the most detail knowledge and the most important experience to us.
