MICRO is a non-profit organization that builds six-foot-tall museums that are installed in public spaces such as in transit hubs, community centers, and hospital waiting rooms.
[1][2] Each museum explores a topic through interactive displays, such as holograms, videos, and 3D printed sculptures.
[3][4][5] MICRO was founded by scientist Amanda Schochet and advertising producer Charles Philipp in 2017,[6][7][8] who also previously worked on the Cartoon Network show, The Amazing World of Gumball, as a post producer, puppet fabricator, and voice actor.
Prior to founding MICRO, Schochet was a computational ecologist and researcher for NASA and the Smithsonian, while Philipp developed and produced media and advertising.
