Guerrilla Gardening

Have you ever been curious about nature on a microscopic level? Maybe you have explored galaxies, birds, flowers, plants, insects...but what about on a smaller scale, like the things living inside a drop of pond water? We organize small hands-on sessions where we collect simple samples from nature and observe them with the prototypes of a portable digital microscope developed by Eureka Microscope ([eurekamicroscope.com](http://eurekamicroscope.com/)), a startup from ETH Zurich. We are looking for people who enjoy nature, photography, hiking, biodiversity, or simply discovering things that are usually invisible. Some sessions will also be part of our early prototype testing. That means you can try the microscope, tell us what feels exciting or frustrating, and help shape a new tool that extends nature exploration to a new scale. No relevant background is needed. Just bring your curiosity :) *** Come by anytime during the event and try two portable digital microscope prototypes (one with 100X magnification, another with 150X) in the park. We’ll set up at the meeting point with microscopes, basic sample tools, and a few example samples. When you arrive, we’ll show you how use the microscope and what kinds of things nearby might be interesting to look at. After the short introduction, you can walk around the park, collect your own samples, and observe them under the microscope. The microscope can connect to your own phone or iPad through wifi, so you can take and save photos or videos directly on your device. This is a casual drop-in event, so you don’t need to arrive exactly at the starting time or stay for the whole session. You can use the microscope as long as you want, if this doesn't prevent another attendee from using it. Parents are welcome to bring children. No science background or microscope experience is needed. ### What to expect * A quick demo of how the microscope works * Suggestions for simple samples to collect in the park * Time to collect and observe your own samples * The option to save photos or videos of what you find * A short feedback conversation if you’d like to help us improve the product ### What to bring Please bring your phone or iPad if you would like to connect it to the microscope and save your own images or videos. We’ll bring the microscope and basic tools for sample collection. P.S. Unfortunately we don't speak German :(
