Sixties Science – Photography

Photography and the way we capture current events has changed over the past 60 years, moving from taking pictures using film to digital images with the ability to share them instantly. This episode of Sixties Science will explore the use of film cameras, demonstrate how to make a pinhole camera, and hold a race to show the difference between capturing a digital image and a light-sensitive paper image.

The Sixties Science program is a monthly series connecting history and STEAM from the 1960s to today for students ages 8-13. This program will highlight new topics each month through virtual programs debuting on the Museum’s YouTube channel the second Saturday of every month at 10 a.m.
