This is a device built to showcase how fiber optics works due to total internal reflection that I made for a science project in grade 10. It is assembled without any tools and can be used for educational purposes. Also can be used in conjunction with an Arduino and a photo-resistor to detect when light reaches the other side. I used this to demonstrate a Morse code decoder, using flashes of light as dots and dashes. Uses 2 AA batteries with LED and resistor as well as a push button. All of it fits inside the box, with optical fibers threaded through the long tube to the Arduino and photo-resistor setup. It is a great model for teaching optics!
The full source code that ran on the Arduino is available on my GitHub (linked below).

This was entered for the Lights competition as it involved the use of an LED to transmit signals through fiber optics.
This model was created using Fusion 360.
