2004: Day in Nanoscale Science and Technology NNIN at UCSB partnered with the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth to host a Day in Nanoscale Science and Technology on Oct 16, 2004. About 120 students and 120 parents participated in this event. |
What is nanotechnology? As scientists build stronger materials and devices that use smaller integrated circuits, there is a greater need to understand matter on scales that are only slightly larger than an atom, yet smaller than molecules. They must understand the nano scale: scales of matter that are one billionth of a meter in size. As we try to understand matter at the nanoscale, the lines between physics, chemistry, and biology blur, making nanotechnology a truly interdisciplinary and integrated approach to learning science. Our educational programs will immerse you in the world of the nanoscale, for a hands-on, mind-active experience you will never forget. |
2005: MESA Day in Science and Technology: Featuring Nanotechnology NNIN at UCSB partnered with the Materials Reserch Labs, Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA), Los Ingenieros, and others to host a day in Nanoscience and Technology! All high schools and middle schools in the Santa Barbara and Ventura counties were welcome to participate.About 825 students were engaged in this program.
