Students gain hands-on experience with a state-of-the-art environmental scanning electron microscope and learn photomicrography from local experts.
The Microscope Adventure Camp at Hamline University offers high school students a unique opportunity to delve into the microscopic world. Participants will engage in hands-on experiments using both light microscopes and Hamline's advanced scanning electron microscope. The camp focuses on developing scientific observation skills and mastering photomicrography techniques to capture and present scientific findings. Students will interact with local experts, learning the principles and applications of various microscopes in fields such as environmental science, forensic science, life science, and materials science. Working in teams, campers will create, edit, and present images, and share their scientific discoveries with different audiences.
A typical day involves hands-on experiments with light and scanning electron microscopes, learning photomicrography, and collaborating with a team to analyze and present scientific observations.
This camp is ideal for high school students entering or in grades 9-12 who are curious about the invisible microscopic world and interested in scientific exploration and imaging.
