      It’s not a real Lighthouse! it’s more of a mobile pop-up darkroom that will travel around the country. The UN has declared 2015 the International Year of Light. It’ll be a marquee with blackout curtains and lots of interesting optical experiments and illusions inside.

      The problem is that the cool optical experiments that we can do requires darkness. For example, it’s very hard to see lasers in daylight. This Lighthouse will be a large marquee with blackout curtains to make it nice and dark. It’ll be like a House of Horrors but without the scary stuff, just really cool light stuff and optical illusions.

      Yes, I know I can make it. I’ve already started planning the cool stuff to go inside of it. If you have any ideas, let me know!
