We are developing a discovery-based science program for K-6 students based on digital microscopy. The program is MicroExplorers (www.MicroExplorers.org).

We have developed a range of different science outreach materials that span the fields of materials, chemistry, biology, and engineering that engage students and promote family-based learning.

Through events on campus, the Children’s Museum in Madison and after-school programs, we have used microscopy-based science modules to teach concepts to ~500 students.
