Programme

During the initial 20 minutes of this excursion, we will gather water and soil samples from various locations across the campus.

Subsequently, we will reconvene in a meeting room, where we shall examine the collected samples, providing a glimpse into the hidden wonders of the microcosmos. To enhance our exploration, we will showcase state-of-the-art Open Hardware microscopes, including the Matchboxscope and the OpenFlexure.

In the event of rain, the samples will be gathered beforehand, and we will exclusively engage in the microscope session
