This past Saturday, the Foldscope team was at the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation Discove
 
 ry Center in Seattle conducting two workshops.  The attendees were the wonderful elementary and secondary teachers from the Washington area.  The topic was on STEAM Power:  Turn On The Heat With Creativivity &amp; Innovation in Teaching.
 
 
 A special thank you to Richard Dorsett, Foldscope’s Super User for leading the workshops and to Don Doman for capturing all the photos.  Also, th
 
 
 anks to the support from the Gates Foundation and particularly Patrick McMahon, Maria Reyna and Janet Fagan.
 


 It was a big success!  Thank you to all pa
 
 rticipants.  Here are some pictures from our workshop sessions and the Discovery Center at the Gates Foundation HQ.
