One of the central ideas behind modeling quantum phenomena is that we “see” low dimensional projections of a high dimensional reality or model. This video is a very entertaining presentation of projections from three to two-dimensional spaces — Impossible Objects: The Mathematics of 3D Illusions by Kokichi Sugihara.

The cheapest way to purchase laser pointers is in sets of three as cat toys. You can often get them for $12.00 or less for three from Amazon or other suppliers.
Vernier Science Education is a great source for both hardware and software including a free version of Vernier Graphical Analysis.
If you’re into building electronic things yourself then there are several great sources. I like Adafruit, Microbits, and all things Arduino and Genuino.
