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 (facilitator guide in resources section below).
This 6-minute “how-to” video (link to YouTube) shares what we’ve learned about how to facilitate use of the 3HPPP to excite a lifetime of curiosity and wonder in learners of all ages.
See the Printing Instructions below in both English and Spanish for more information about how you can order 3HPPPs or make your own projectors using our design.
During the Heliophysics Big Year, National and State Parks or Nature & Art Centers in the 4-Corners region are eligible to request a free shipment of projectors in support of their eclipse and other Sun-watching events. Contact punchoutreach@gmail.com.
