Coronaviruses are viruses whose particles look like crowns. And how did scientists find out the structures of the viruses? That’s right - by using a microscope! Actually, objects may look different after magnification under the microscope. Take leaves as an example, we can only observe leaf veins on the surface with the naked eye, but after zooming in, you can see the cell structure! Join us to make your own microscope and explore the tiny objects around! You may discover a brand new perspective on the community afterward.
The content of the program include:
- Principles of microscope: participants will be guided to have simple scientific experience so as to understand the structure of microscope
- Basic maker skills: participants will acquire basic woodworking skills and the use of basic tools relevant to the project
- Explore the community: participants will explore different objects collected in the community
- Design thinking: participants will be able to customize and improve the microscope based on the purpose and usage
- Problem solving: participants will find solutions to sort out the design problems
The scope of the program include:
- Train maker skills and explore different ways to solve problems
- Develop creative thinking and apply it to daily life setting
- Stimulate participants' curiosity about the things around them and enhance their learning motivation
