I am just starting to document the phenomenal experience of the series of #Foldscope workshop in Delhi, Guwahati and Kaziranga. As a means for people to cherish connections they made at the workshop – I am just documenting folks and organizations that joined us at Delhi. The location was Venky College in Delhi University. But, thanks to the financial support from @DBTIndia; we were able to engage and bring together participants from all around the country. Here is a short list of organizations that participated. If you joined us in Delhi and you are not listed here; please drop me a message/comment below. The goal of this post is for all of you to make connections with each other; so you all can connect and push forward the mission of “curiosity driven explorations” in rural and urban environment around the country.
keep exploring
cheers

I know this is a partial list; since none of the colleges from DU are represented. If you attended the workshop and your college is not listed here; please leave a comment with link/name. Also; make some posts so we know you learned how to use Foldscope and are on your way to becoming proficient in exploring the microscopic world.
I would love to see which college actually reads the “micro-certificate” and post the text from the same right here. Let the race begin 🙂
Here are some images/pictures from the workshop: if you have images from the workshop – please upload them online and attach a link in comments.
