MMS Project MICRO

Project MICRO

MMS Project MICRO (Microscopy In Curriculum Research Outreach) is our outreach program to encourage kids of all ages to explore science with microscopes.

We are MMS volunteers that present microscopy activities at local science museums and elementary school science nights. Our activities include Fingerprints, Fabrics, Sand, Make-n-Take Microscopes, Everyday Cool Stuff, and Watery Worlds (pond life; seasonal). We have many field microscopes for kids to use and a Leica stereoscope connected to a monitor and photo printer. This enables kids to choose any object, focus it at their chosen magnification, take a photo, print it, and take it home--compliments of MMS. 

We have presented at the Science Museum of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota Math & Science Family Fun Fair, The Bakken Museum, and The Mill City Museum.

School events where we have appeared:    

  • Apple Valley High School Family STEM Night 
  • Cedar Park Elementary Family Night 
  • Cherokee Heights Elementary Winter Wonderland Family Night
