Bangkok (18 November 2020) - Thai Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. joins in supporting science and technology education through donating 500 smartphones to the project “2,500 microscopes from 2,500 old mobile phones. for 2,500 marginalized schools” in collaboration between the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society and Chulalongkorn University To be used as a replacement for microscopes in schools facing shortages of scientific education equipment across the country. Obstacles to learning science for marginalized students image003 Educational inequality is one of the roots of Thai society's problems. Schoolchildren in remote areas have limited access to educational resources and equipment compared to students living in large cities. Especially in science subjects Practical learning requires expensive equipment, such as microscopes that cost up to 40,000 baht per device, causing many schools to face problems in organizing appropriate science instruction for students.
These obstacles and problems are the starting point for the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society to initiate cooperation with Chulalongkorn University Chulalongkorn University Demonstration School, Primary Telegram Number Data Division Chulalongkorn University Book Center and Lens and Smart Classroom Company Limited invite business organizations and the general public to donate old mobile phones. To be used as a digital microscope that can record images and connect to a computer. It is a smart educational device (smart education devices) to be given to small primary and secondary schools across the country under the project “2,500 Microscope: From 2,500 old mobile phones to 2,500 marginalized schools” From old mobile phones to microscopes The Pollution Control Department has collected statistics and found that in 2016 there were as many as 13.42 million pieces of electronic waste (Electronic Waste or E-waste), which is considered a large number and requires good management in order to Do not cause any impact on the environment in the future. One of the ways to properly manage electronic waste is recycling.
Old mobile phones are a type of electronic waste that can be put to good use, such as being developed into learning tools like microscopes. It is used together with the CU Smart Lens (CU Smart Lens), a lens that transforms a smartphone into a simple microscope with 3 magnification powers: 20x, 40x, and 50x by clamping. Lenses compatible with smartphone cameras There are also other devices. that are an important part of the digital microscope, such as the sample stand Mobile phone stand, LED light source Focus button and spare batteries, etc. Therefore, this project is considered to be an extension of the smartphone journey. From useless old trash to learning opportunities for children. to learn the details of things Surroundings that are small in size that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as flower pollen, insects, microorganisms.
