**Using simple materials, we’ve developed a microscope kit you can build yourself** - the result of many teams’ work coming together!
## Workshops
On **Sunday, December 2**, we'll be doing a 2-hour workshop to build microscopes together at AS220 Industries. For more, [read the workshop page and sign up here](https://shop.as220.org/collections/featured/products/microbrew-as220-bar).
