Microscopes Workshop

Teachers: build your own microscopes at a free workshop in *your* school (with UNC Biology prof Bob Goldstein)

[Microscopes Workshop @ScopesWorkshop]

Here are the comments from a previous year at NCTIES … this will be fun! And you’ll walk away from the Thursday 3:15pm workshop at #ncties26 with your own microscope!

In nine years, 291 K-12 educators from 63 of the 100 NC counties built their own microscopes at NCTIES conferences. Thanks @ncties and #ncties26 attendees for a great workshop last week! And thanks @NSF for support!
