The Optics Institute of Southern California is an Orange County-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion of math, science, and engineering education through the use of optics and related technologies and phenomena.

Our educational approach is hands-on, student-centered, and engaging.

We seek to foster the curious scientist, the artful mathematician, and the creative engineer in every student, regardless of age.

The OISC is a Project of Community Partners and contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The OISC became a Project of Community Partners by chance on September 11, 2003.

Optical technologies play a big role in protecting our freedoms and liberties.  We must NEVER forget 9/11.

The great symbols of our country are everywhere; look closely at a one dollar bill.

On Sept. 11, 2006 the people of Russia donated and dedicated the "Tear Drop" in memory of those who died on 9/11/2001 and in the World Trade Center Bombing of 1993. 

Many Friends of the OISC are Russian and we thank them.
