Required Gear:

Matrix is shipped to your organization in one kilogram bags - one kilogram will be enough for about 20-25 participants.

To analyze the matrix, you will need the following gear: newspapers, paper plates, toothpicks, a magnifying glass, and plastic baggies/jars with wide mouths and tight fitting lids. Also helpful are: one or more embroidery hoops with a piece of scrim (or other gauzy curtain material), a clean fine mesh or grease splatter screen, a scale, a low-power microscope, an overhead projector, an old toothbrush, paper towels, coffee filters, and a colander or funnel.

Resources and Step-by-step instructions on how to conduct the analysis will be mailed with your order, and can also be found here:
