Project ‘Foldscopes: From Southborough to Ecuador
|
Portovelo Community-ManabíA paper microscope is making microscopy available to children in coastal communities in Ecuador. Our team travelled to the community of Portovelo where they delivered 100 Foldscopes donated by the Rotary Club of Southborough, Massachusetts, USA. Students and Teachers from the Chone River estuary had a wonderful time learning about the Microcosmo.

Horconcito and Salinas Communities-ManabíAlmost 100 Foldscopes were distributed to schools and a workshop of young environmentalists located in the Chone River estuary, Manabí!. Foldscopes provide an opportunity for children to experience the microcosm up close, and students from schools in the Chone sector and UE de Salinas were fascinated by this new tool for their natural science class and biology class.

|
Arajuno and Shiwakucha Communities-PastazaThe first 22 Foldscopes were distributed in 3 schools of the Pastaza province located in Ecuador's Amazon region. Our team taught teachers and students how to use Foldscopes in biology and science classes. The teachers expressed their gratitude and enthusiasm for being able to have this new classroom tool since they currently do not have a science laboratory.
