Healthcare Microscopes

Help me give my students updated microscopes. Upgraded microscopes will offer higher resolution, advanced features like digital imaging, versatility with multiple observation modes, user-friendly interfaces, integration with technology, and long-term cost.

My Project

Our current microscopes are ancient, cracked, and difficult to use. By upgrading our microscopes you will be helping future healthcare workers learn integral skills to take care of you in the future! Our students use microscopes in several units, where they experience the different facets of the myriad of healthcare occupations available. For example, students will take on the role of a pathologist where they study tissue samples to diagnose cancer and other infectious diseases. Students will also take on the role of microbiologist where they will observe microorganisms to diagnose infections and determine the most effective treatments.

My goal is to help prepare our healthcare students for their future in medicine.

Students will have the ability to explore over 15 healthcare occupations to determine which career path suits them the best.

My students are special due to their diversity, curiosity, potential, resilience, collaboration skills, passion, creativity, and empathy. These unique qualities contribute to a dynamic and engaging learning environment, fostering a positive and inclusive educational experience.
