Microscope Lab: An Introductory Hands-on Workshop

Explore the wonders of planet Earth through the eyes of a scientist! Dive into the world of microbiology through hands-on exploration as we learn the fundamentals of light microscopy and prepare our own slides.

Investigate the hidden worlds revealed in a drop of water, learn how microbes inform the search for life in our universe, reimagine the tools of the lab to create experimental art, and more! At the end, you'll leave with your own folding microscope kit to keep the fun going at home.

Know what’s Happening Next — before everyone else does.
