Indigenous children in a remote area of West Bengal, India, use a microscope to learn about unseen germs as part of the Raster Master (Teacher of the Streets) program. This initiative aims to provide education to tribal children who cannot attend school due to financial constraints, distance from schools, and illiterate parents. As a result of the lack of education, superstitions are widespread in the community, often leading to reliance on witch doctors for emergency healthcare, which can be fatal. Introducing technical tools like microscopes helps dispel superstitions and sparks scientific curiosity in the minds of young learners.
