THE WEEKEND OUTLOOK Friday May Page Features- Science Fair Project becomes valuable hobby By LISA BOONSTOPPELPOT The Herald In completing a Science Fair project Mark Boere of Georgetown not only earned top honors for his work but learned a process that could become a valuable hobby When Mark a student at BishopReding Secondary School in Milton embarked on the science project he decided to pursue an interest he had in the making of holographs Despite the time expense and research he would have to do he plugged ahead and has come out a double winner Not only did he receive the se cond place trophy for his project at the Halton Roman Catholic School Board Science Fair a silver award at the Hamilton- Wentworth District Science and Engineering Fair and a cash award from the Spectroscopy Society of Canada he learned a valuable skill that could make him some extra cash if his dreams of setting up a parttime holography business come true It all began when Mark saw a rainbow hologram on the cover of National Geographic Thinking it a beautiful way to capture ob jects In true form he began researching holography and learned it is a form of photography using a split coherent wave source such as a laser to record an interference pattern on film which can be recorded as a threedimensional image Its a confusing explanation but Mark is a science bug and found the technology- surrounding the creating of holograms fascinating But actually making the holograms wasnt as easy for Mark as learning the concepts behind it he admitted Fortunately his high school Mark Boere a student at BishopReding Secondary School in Milton holds the best hologram he made up to the sun outside his Georgetown home Mark did his science project on holograms and won second place at both the Roman Catholic School Board Science Fair and the Hamilton- Wen District Science and Engineering Fair Herald photo has a laser and the mirrors need ed to create and interfere the light waves but setting the mir rors to the correct reflection fin ding a base that would keep an object so still it wouldnt move within a billionth of an inch and processing the holograph plates were difficult tasks It took me a month of trial and error before I made a successful hologram said Mark I found my base and mirrors werent stable at first I was also using the wrong processing chemicals When he got the logistics straight he created holograms of model airplaines and dungeon and dragon figures which he says rival the holograms National Geographic used Obviously the judges at the science competitions thought his creations were awardwinning material as well GDHS student production Lora Andrea confesses her undying love to Tony Andrew Zubacs while Winnifred Sarah Mills listens in disgust to what she

completed Mark hopes to use his skills to start a parttime business making customordered holographs He wants to build his own darkroom in his parents home buy the necessary equipment he estimates it
