WELCOME

Welcome to the High School Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Blog sponsored by the Microscopy Society of America extending outreach to 7-12 grade teachers interested in connecting with professional microscopists and incorporating real world scanning electron microscopy tools into their curriculum's.

Out of more than 26,000 high schools in the United States, there are currently fifteen middle and high school campuses hosting SEMs on-site. A list of these schools, teacher experiences and related resources are available to all teachers through the Web-Site www.hssemgroup.com.

This blog is intended to provide a communication network between teachers and professional microscpists to answer questions, and to provide direction, exosure and support wherever needed. We look forward to communicating with you often.

This site is an extension of the group HS_SEM@googlegroups.com (old posting available on this site) and the web-site https://sites.google.com/site/hssemgroup/
