During these challenging times, science teachers are seeking ways to develop cutting-edge, engaging remote-learning lessons and curriculum. ZEISS has launched a granting program to give away microscopes throughout the school year of 2021 to K-12 schools in districts that are interested in incorporating digital microscopy into their lesson plans in the coming year.
