We are excited to announce our latest project, The Wee Box of Wonders! In partnership with The Easter Bush Science Outreach Centre (EBSOC) and The Roslin Institute, our gift of £1000 will fund two loan boxes containing microscopes, samples and activities, to be sent out to schools in Midlothian. Midlothian was chosen as the home of last year’s very successful Scottish Microscopy Society Symposium, so we thought it a wonderful opportunity to inspire the next generation of Scottish microscopists! Boxes will be available this autumn, with teacher training sessions planned. We look forward to bringing a box to every primary school in the county by Summer 2023! Stay tuned for updates.
