Create a Paper Microscope!
Don't spend your day off from school bored at home! Assemble your very own Foldscope, a portable paper microscope, then explore the hidden world around you.
We'll learn about how microscopes work and what scientists use them for, as well as some of the things around your home and out in nature that you can examine with your Foldscope.
Each participant will take home their assembled Foldscope.
Participation
For children ages 8 through 12.
