About Scopey
Making everyone a scientist
Scopey is the software companion to the Make-roscope, a pocket microscopy system built by Jeremake to put real scientific tools in everyone's hands.

Our mission
Science, in every pocket
Jeremake's mission is to empower anyone, anywhere to explore, observe, and discover the world scientifically using tools that are simple and affordable — while contributing their findings to a growing, shared body of knowledge.
Scopey is the software layer that makes that happen. Point a phone (with or without a Make-roscope attached) at something alive, and the app names it, explains it, and saves it to your collection. What used to require a lab, a textbook, and an expert now takes a photo and a few seconds.
Curiosity is universal. The tools to act on it shouldn't be reserved for the few. That's the whole idea.
“Making everyone a scientist.”
What we're changing
The problems we're here to solve
Science today is still locked behind expensive tools and traditional classrooms, making real discovery inaccessible to many. Here's what we're changing.
Access is limited
Scopey is free to use. Pair it with the affordable Make-roscope kit and you have a full microscope-plus-identifier for a fraction of school-lab pricing.
Learning is confined
Science stays inside classrooms because the tools do. Scopey goes wherever a phone goes. Field trips, backyards, sidewalks — all become labs.
Curiosity is underused
Curiosity is natural. What's missing is a way to act on it. Scopey turns “what is that?” into an answer — and saves the answer for later.
Safety commitment
Safe by design
Because Scopey is used by students — many of them under 13 — the choices we make about data, content, and physical safety matter. Here's how we approach each one.
An age check at signup
Every user confirms their age range at signup. Students under 13 are asked to confirm that a parent, guardian or teacher has said it's okay. The answer is self-reported. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
Photos stay private
Scan photos are private to the student's account. In a class, teachers see challenge progress, what challenge scans were identified as, and scan and badge counts. Photos a student adds to a class observation or investigation are shared with that teacher for scoring.
Real-world safety rules
Every explorer reviews plain-language safety rules before their first scan: gloves, no tasting, adult supervision, handwashing, leave what you find. Reviewable any time on the safety tips page.
No ads, no tracking, no data sold
Scopey has no advertising, no third-party trackers, and no data monetization. It's an educational product — not a marketing surface.

Partnership opportunities
Let's work together
We're looking to partner with schools, districts, educational nonprofits, and researchers who share our belief that science education gets better when students get to explore.
Schools and districts
Bring Scopey (and the Make-roscope kit) into your grade 4–12 science program. We offer educator training, custom challenges, and district-level dashboards.
Educational nonprofits
Roll out Scopey across summer camps, after-school programs, and youth science initiatives. Volume pricing and co-branded challenge sets available.
Researchers and citizen science
Running a citizen-science or research project? Talk to us about custom challenges built around your research question.
Content collaborators
Museums, botanical gardens, and state parks — partner with us on species guides and seasonal challenges tied to your ecosystem.

Companion hardware
Meet the Make-roscope
Scopey works with any phone camera — but it works best with the Make-roscope. The pocket microscopy kit clips onto your smartphone and turns it into a real microscope that magnifies about 125×.
Snap on the lens, place a specimen, and let Scopey do the rest. Cheaper than a school lab. Small enough for a field trip.
Scopey is built by Jeremake. Identification by Google Lens visual search plus AI (Claude by Anthropic).
