WASHINGTON DC
One of our favorite meetings of the year - an enthusiastic bunch in our nation’s capital to demonstrate and sell Folscopes to. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to attend this year. See you in 2021.
WE LOVE TEACHERS
Join us at one of our favorite annual events - hanging out with the cool teachers who bring science and discovery to children every day. We’ll be demo’ing the Foldscope and making sure everyone knows what a great device it is to bring into the classroom.
We’re raffling off foldscopes to teachers every month of 2020. Foldscope is giving away up to 3 Combo kits (valued at $70.00 each) to teachers who join us in our quest to get microscopes into the hands of all children around the world. To enter, post on microcosmos.foldscope.com or post on social media with #foldscope, then complete this form to tell us which of those you did. On the first day of each month we will choose a lucky winner from the entries of the month before - that person will receive up to 63 Foldscopes sent to their school (postage paid)!
WE’RE READY
Join us at the biggest ‘toy’ show in the world - all the latest and best electronics and other cool stuff under one (well, multiple) roof! Foldscope will be there!
WE CELL FOLDSCOPES
Excited for another chance to hang out and interact with all of our friends in the Cell Biology Community at their annual conference. We’ll have Foldscopes on hand for you to try out and we’ll have our Deluxe Kit to purchase at a discounted price. Come see us at our booth if you’re at the conference.
HIYO, BIO!
We’re joining Biology teachers across the US at the NABT meeting in Chicago, IL. Come see us at our booth and get a glimpse at our latest offerings from Foldscope. Leave your card/info and get a chance for discounts on your next purchase.
