In many classrooms around the world, limited access to scientific tools due to high costs and scarce resources hinders teachers from providing hands-on experimentation opportunities, leaving science education crippled. Foldscope, a low-cost, high-quality paper microscope, is transforming this reality by making hands-on science accessible to students everywhere. With Foldscope, young learners can explore the microscopic world, sparking curiosity and scientific discovery in diverse educational settings, and making quality STEM education more accessible.

Foldscope has reached over 2 million learners across 164 countries, expanding access to hands-on science education. Through its collaboration with Enseña Perú, students in underserved communities can now engage in scientific experimentation, developing critical skills and confidence to become the problem solvers and scientists of the future. Join us to explore how this partnership is driving impact in STEM education and equipping students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
