Through an SPIE Cycle Outreach Grant Sean designed and hosted "A Day of Light" at the Georgia Institute of Technology and at local high schools in Atlanta . The day was held in conjunction with a larger intiative called the Hispanic and Latino College STEM fair allowing the workshop to influence more than 500 students in one day of students in K-12.
