Community-Designed DIY Microscopes with Public Lab

At our DIY microscope workshop, we'll guide participants through building their own microscope with affordable materials: cardboard, bolts, webcams, and tape. We'll look at water and plant samples from nearby sites, and talk about ways that using DIY science tools can lead to meaningful discovery.
