The PUNCH Outreach team designed the 3-Hole-PUNCH Pinhole Projector (3HPPP) so that everyone can experience and explore the wonder of how a small, lens-less hole of any shape works to create real images of the Sun or other bright light sources, both indoors and outdoors.

Our projector allows you to observe the Sun safely during eclipses or on any sunny day! The 3HPPP is NOT your ordinary pinhole projector, nor a simple give-away like a sticker or button, but a powerful learning tool when safely and effectively facilitated (find the facilitator guide in the resources section on the PUNCH webpage).
