In a classroom, three instructors in blue “Girls Science Day” T-shirts lead a lesson on color. A projector screen shows a slide titled “Looking at colors!” with overlapping color-circle diagrams, while several students sit around a long table holding small prisms or color filters and watching a glowing light in the middle of the table.
