Outreach
The Club has an active microscopy outreach programme to further our aim of promoting the understanding and use of microscopes.
We used to run our own annual event in the Natural History Museum in London to promote microscopy to young people:
- Young Scientists’ Day
We are now looking for a new venue for this event. Any education or voluntary organisations who would like to assist in this venture are welcome to get in touch with the Outreach Organiser, Pam Hamer, using the form below.
