Observatory, Diatoms Workshop
Education of the importance of microscopic living organisms by the sensitivity.
The project aims to make children aware of the microscopic world of diatoms (and their values) through mediation and an observation kit. With simple items in a dark room, children can observe their water sample of diatoms. They are spotlighted using a simple light and a serie of lenses which projects diatoms on the tables of the classroom. The observation kit structure fades in the children experience. The structure looks like a tripod, erected above the tables of classroom. The majority of the kit can be manufactured in a Fablab in order to be accessible to the greatest possible number of people.
