Sometimes, small things make a huge impact. After studying how bees in urban environments can survive by navigating small land patches, ecologist Amanda Schochet was inspired to build MICRO, a network of portable science museums the size of vending machines. Learn how these tiny museums are being deployed in libraries, community centers, transit hubs and elsewhere to increase public access to science.

Tiny science museums in public spaces bridge knowledge gaps, making science accessible and fostering community learning.

Empowering actions, no matter the scale, cumulatively strengthen systems for better access to essentials like education.

Micro museums, blending science with accessibility, transform public spaces into educational hubs, fostering widespread scientific literacy.
