Fascination with insects leads many young learners into deeper science studies and science careers. But by high school, hand lenses and dissection microscopes are no longer sufficient to probe for new discoveries about ants, moths, and flies caught in the park.

Sarah Goh, a student at Seattle Academy, was able to take her fascination much further with Mochii. She used a Mochii to investigate insect structures for her 10th grade science project, and discovered differences in eye structures, foot structures, and sensory bristles. Sarah’s project and her deep enthusiasm for science were a highlight among her cohort and featured in a STEM special event at Seattle Academy.
