Armed with flashlights and a lab disc, Malia and her peers embarked on an educational journey that left them with a newfound appreciation for the world of optics.

Through their experiment, the young scientists discovered the incredible power of light and how it interacts with different materials. By testing various sunglasses, they learned that not all shades are created equal – some were more effective in blocking light than others, revealing the secret behind stylish eyewear.

The star of the show was the remarkable lab disc, a mini science marvel that tracked light, temperature, and height, leaving young minds amazed by its capabilities. The experiment was not just about fun; it was an eye-opening experience, igniting a passion for science within these budding researchers.

Malia’s excitement for the experiment was palpable, and her experience sparked a newfound interest in scientific exploration among her peers. As she shared her thoughts, the audience couldn’t help but feel inspired by her curiosity and passion for learning.

This captivating experiment reminds us that science is all around us, waiting to be unraveled. From the flicker of a flashlight to the intriguing properties of light, there’s a world of knowledge to explore. Malia’s ambition to become a doctor exemplifies this experiment’s potential to sow the seeds of aspiration in young minds.

So, let’s join hands in celebrating these young scientists and encouraging their thirst for knowledge. As we witness the magic of light and the power of sunglasses, let’s inspire the next generation to embrace their curiosity, pursue their dreams, and illuminate the world with their Boxlight brilliance.

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

End users made up 37% of InfoComm 2026's 28,132 attendees

AVIXA reports InfoComm 2026 drew 28,132 verified attendees from 94 countries to Las Vegas, with end users making up 37%. Microsoft and Cisco keynotes centered on AI agents for the meeting room. For enterprise workplace and IT teams, the June attendance mix and cross-platform AI pitches are timely as fall buying decisions approach.

  • 01A 37% end-user share at a pro AV trade show is a usable benchmark: more than one in three badges belonged to organizations that deploy the equipment, suggesting exhibitors may be demoing more directly to customers.
  • 02A sharper question to put to a collaboration vendor before the demo is which platform an AI meeting feature actually runs on. According to AVIXA, Cisco framed intelligent systems and open collaboration ecosystems as working across platforms including Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, while Microsoft tied its voice agents to Teams Phone and Teams Rooms.
  • 03The 170-meter Cat5e reach BZBGEAR's Matt Richards cited to CE Pro for the XTREME-PRO, part of the XLink-ONE family that took Best of Show at InfoComm 2026 from AV Technology, is a manufacturer spec, not an independent test; for facilities with runs past 100 meters it is worth a bench check before fiber is designed out.
