It is Day 2 of the The Institute for Arts Integration & STEAM Conference! Only a few more @TeamFoldscope.bsky.com items remain… Stop by the table and I’ll see you at the 1:00 session on Light, Microscopy, and Perspective! #ArtsIntegration #CreativityConnected26
I want to send a big thank you right back to Caldwell County Schools! Thank you for inviting me to the CCS Mini Conference! I enjoyed working with your teachers and hearing their ideas for how they are going to use their Foldscopes in the coming weeks!
Normally the “Wows!” and looks on the faces of teachers when they experience a @teamfoldscope.bsky.social for the first time is thanks enough for the work I do, but Jennifer Griffin of Onslow County Schools took it up a notch with this goody bag!
🥹A thrilling moment from day 2 of our Fast & Curious Tour stop with CESTEM at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, as this teacher saw the amazement of what the Foldscope 2.0 is. 📌 APPLY NOW FOR THE FAST & CURIOUS TOUR AT docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #fastandcurious
We're giving out FREE Foldscopes to educators and community leaders in the US! Visit foldscope.com/pages/fast-c... for more information or... 📌 Apply now at docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #freefoldscopes #educatorworkshop #fastandcurioustour

I’m helping teachers in the Charlotte area set New Years resolutions to bring hands on science experiences to their students! @teamfoldscope.bsky.social and the Carolinas STEM Teaching & Learning Conference are starting 2026 strong!
Last chance to get your #Foldscope at #CellBio2025! It makes a great Christmas gift/stocking stuffer! Visit @teamfoldscope.bsky.social at booth 113! @ascbiology.bsky.social #MagnifyCuriosity
Day 3 of #ASCB 2025 requires a venti sized power up! Getting ready to inspire scientists one #Foldscope at a time today! @teamfoldscope.bsky.social #MagnifyCuriosity
Christmas came early to the K-5 science and STEAM educators at Iredell-Statesville Schools! I had a great time working with these passionate teachers who are now ready to confidently put #Foldscopes into the hands of their students! @teamfoldscope.bsky.social
Heading out to do some @teamfoldscope.bsky.social training at @lenoirrhyne.bsky.social and App State- Hickory campus!
Ever used a microscope to break out of an escape room? The EMBL programme ‘Summer of Science’ offered children, families, and even scientists a unique way to experience science through a collection of creative activities. Learn more: www.embl.org/news/lab-mat...
This week I had a great time sharing @teamfoldscope.bsky.social resources with Spartanburg School District 7 science educators and the Rock Hill Schools 7th graders at the career day hosted by Rawlinson Road Middle School! Inspiring educators and students one microscopic view at a time!
We are collaborating with #RAYNGrowingSystems at #NSTAFall2025! We're using #Foldscopes to watch changes in root development under various pH levels in #EdRack. Join the workshop on 11/14 at 8:00 am in room M100J and visit booth #449 to learn more! #NSTA #NSTEM
Aaaaand that’s a wrap on the North Carolina Science Teachers Association 2025 Conference! I really enjoyed the connections and partnerships developed at the @teamfoldscope.bsky.social booth over the past couple of days! See you next year NCSTA!
Making connections here at NCSTA 2025 Conference! @teamfoldscope.bsky.social , The Need Project, Mark Case, Guilford County Schools, & Southern Guilford High School
North Carolina Science Teachers Association 2025 conference attendees - did you miss yesterday’s packed @teamfoldscope.bsky.social session? No worries, you can still stop by booth #403 to learn about the tool that will make science accessible and fun for all of your students!
@teamfoldscope.bsky.social is ready for the #NCSTA Conference! Come by booth 403 and join me at 2:30 on 11/6 for a workshop. Build your own #Foldscope to take home!
Adventures In Astronomy: Full Moon! Experiencing the beauty of looking up!
Imagine a world where our students think of science not as a list of vocabulary words, but rather as a series of beautiful images. Read this Microcosmos post, grab some art supplies & a #Foldscope, & start creating & discovering! #ArtsIntegration #EduSky microcosmos.foldscope.com/post/IX18Bf1...
Adventures In Microscopy: Fall Leaves Is anyone else getting #Wicked vibes? Maple and oak leaves viewed under a #Foldscope 2.0 at 50x magnification. #FearlessMicroscopy #STEAM #ScienceIsBeautiful
Adventures In Microscopy: Desmids! This sample was gathered at the base of a waterfall I saw while hiking. Desmids have high degrees of symmetry which remind me of paper snowflakes. Enjoy! #FearlessMicroscopy #STEAM #Microscopy #ScienceIsBeautiful #Foldscope #ScienceIsFun #EduSky
Adventures In Microscopy: Marigold Pollen Each of the pollen grains is covered in tiny little spikes. As always, I love how lighting can change the appearance so much! Enjoy! (#Foldscope 2.0, 340X) #FearlessMicroscopy #STEAM #GardenMicroscopy #ScienceIsBeautiful
"w/ the little creatures, nobody really cares [if it is alive or dead.] But I think it makes a difference in how you connect to a creature. There is a subconscious connection between looking eye to eye w/ a creature that is alive vs a creature that is sort of crumpled up." -Anand Varna
