One of the activities the Regenerative Medicine and Bioimaging Facility has participated in is the Ugly Bug Contest. This was in collaboration with Ask a Biologist. Resources are available for K-8 teachers to teach kids about microscopes and the microscopic world.
Each September, volunteers from the Regenerative Medicine and Bioimaging Facility collaborate with the NAU Histology Core to provide microscope-based activities at the annual Flagstaff Festival of Science. The festival is a 10-day event but the Microscopy event is always the second Saturday and is open to the public.
