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.

How does the LudusScope align with new science learning guidelines?

What benefits do the researchers find in using the LudusScope with students?
