Chip Camps The chip camp is an intensive learning experience. High school students spend either 1, 3, or 5 days in our teaching clean room facility and learn tricks of light and chemicals to make a tiny microresistor. Longer camps allow a guided exploration of "top down" nanofabrication processes and the results can be used as a science fair project. |
After School Program The after school program is a chip camp broken down into smaller chunks (3 hours/week) for 5 weeks. |
Apprentice Researcher's Program (ARP) As a partnership with the California Nanosystems Institiute (CNSI), the NNIN at UCSB financially supports 4 students each year through this program. High school students are paired with graduate student mentors and faculty advisors to work on real-world research during the summer. Please click here for more information about the program, and please click here to see which students and projects have been supported by the NNIN. |
Research Mentorship Program (RMP) Another research experience for high school students is the Research Mentorship Program, coordinated and hosted by UCSB Summer Sessions. In 2005, the NNIN provided a mentor and a project to develop a portable device that can be used in classrooms to teach photolithography. Please click here to learn more. |
