Hitachi Inspire Education Loan

Hitachi Inspire Education Loan



 Mountain House High School was lucky enough to be selected to work with Hitachi’s STEM Outreach program.  It’s  mission is to “ to inspire the next generation of innovative pioneers through the advancement of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics”.  .Hitachi provided the the TM3030, our tabletop electron microscope to the MHHS Biomedical program for a week.  During the week students brought in tiny items to examine under the microscope.  The array of items was wide and included human hair, dog hair, an ant, a small bug, a pastel, a mint, a penny, pencil lead, salt, fabric, yarn, thread, paper, petals, leaves and more.  Students learned to operate the TM3030.  They took photos of their objects and calculated the size of their objects seen up close in nanometers.  Subsequent to this activity the students will investigate the use of nanotechnology in medicine.  The group of students above was viewing the images below of a small bug.


We would like to thank Hitachi for the amazing loan.   It was a fun and educational experience that enhanced the Mountain House Biomedical program.
