Hidden Worlds: Under the Microscope (Sold-Out)

microscope and slides

Microscopes provide our senses with information to reveal hidden worlds that are otherwise too small to detect. Students will examine micro worlds of everyday objects under a live video feed of the museum’s digital microscope. They will get to choose from a wide variety of objects to visualize. They will then test their knowledge of micro worlds in a fun game!

This program is virtual via Zoom. We have implemented the following measures to ensure that our virtual programming is safe and secure:

  • Waiting room to prevent uninvited guests from joining the meeting
  • Controls in place to control if and when students can chat and share content
  • End-to-end encryption to ensure proper security
  • Recording of program is not permitted by any party
