Today there are more than 26,000 high schools in the United States all seeking ways to improve student interest in science, technology and math. Those of us in the field of microscopy believe that familiarity with a scanning electron microscope can provide incentive, confidence and excitement through discovery that the invisable world is beautiful and worthy of the investment of time and energy to learn and achieve. Students and teachers will also discover that these tools have become user friendly and available.
We know of approximately 15 high schools that have their own SEM. Teachers who use these instruments in their schools testify to the impact usage of these tools have on students. I hope we will hear some of their stories here.
The Microscopy Society of America is extremely interested in working with high school teachers. We look forward to your questions and comments.
