MicroWorld hits the Road!
For 10 years, rural elementary school teachers have come to Cornell to participate in MicroWorld—a one‐day hands‐on workshop in optical microscopy. This year, MicroWorld hit the road and traveled 200 miles to work with urban teachers in New York City.
Partnering with Cornell Weill Medical College, Microscopy Facility Manager John Hunt, Coordinator Alexa Sabenegh and a team of CCMR grad students and postdocs packed up their microscopes and headed for Manhattan! After John Hunt’s keynote lecture, teachers gained hands‐on experience in a variety of activities.
Teachers expressed interest in more workshops of this type, and the CCMR plans to return to the Big Apple with more activities. Teacher feedback was positive, and one teacher noted “this is the best science workshop I have attended.”
