A whole hidden world sits on the tip of a leaf, and Russell STEM Middle School wants every student to see it. Foldscopes are paper microscopes that work with an iPad camera, letting students explore the microscopic world up close. In STEM Art classes, students will examine specimens from their sixth-grade microbiome unit and turn what they see into drawings and designs.
Your $500 gift buys a full classroom set of about 25 Foldscopes that can be used for years by up to 900 students, with no ongoing costs.
Project Cost: $500
