SOCCER, PAC MAN AND EUGLENA: COMBINING FUN, HANDS-ON BIOLOGY WITH THE CONVENIENCE OF A SMARTPHONE

The video introduces the concept of microbe soccer using the LudusScope, a 3D printed smartphone microscope that allows kids to interact with light-seeking microbes called Euglena. The LudusScope features a platform with LEDs and a joystick to guide the microbes, offering both game-like and educational applications. It aligns with new science learning standards and has been positively received by teachers and students for its hands-on approach. The video concludes with a humorous anecdote about using light stands as goal posts.
