Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts "Blue Crew" associates carefully assembled and checked monocular scopes ("Foldscopes") so that a classroom of middle school students in Boston Public Schools will have hands-on opportunities to discover the microscopic world as part of the Next Generation Science Standards with these innovative tools. Thanks to everyone who volunteered and @Pauline Murnin for making this possible! https://lnkd.in/eNwrp3sb #science #volunteersmakeadifference
