Microscopes in schools is coordinated by the Rotary Club of Freshwater Bay. They ask our fellow Rotary Clubs to sponsor microscopes for local schools. http://www.microscopesinschools.com/
 
Carmel Costin from Yidarra Catholic Primary School informed us over 480 kids will be able to use the microscopes we are donating. Theearly STEM program, Little Scientists https://littlescientists.org.au/ is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education and Training through the National Innovation and Science Agenda. There are only two schools in WA who have qualified for the national programme.
 
Microscopes in Schools has been developed with the Science Teachers’ Association of Western Australia (STAWA) and the Water Corporation. Magnifying Microscopes are donated to schools in every state and to nearby countries in Asia.
