"High-resolution microscope built from LEGO and bits of phone." They had children age 9-13 build it. So apparently it's a good project for kids.

"The researchers designed a fully functional, high-resolution microscope with capabilities close to a modern research microscope. Apart from the optics, all parts were from the toy brick system. The team realized that the lenses in modern smartphone cameras, which cost around €4 each, are of such high quality that they can make it possible to resolve even individual cells."
