How Cheap Paper Microscopes Are Changing Kids’ Lives | Nat Geo Live

information only becomes meaningful when
you’ve had an experience how do you
really bring that experience of science
to people all around the world a big
vision that we have is to bring a
microscope into the pocket of every
single kid in the world it’s about
getting to places where these tools
would never go this is a girl that I met
in Nigeria and I showed her for the very
first time how mosquitoes actually feed
blood we found a fellow friend there was
a mosquito biting him right there we
caught it we put it in their microscope
and we actually showed blood cells

girl had a completely different
perspective and the next day then when
she went back home she actually slept
under a bed net that’s the perception
that you want when you’re trying to
bring science and technology into
people’s hands
