 Nanotechnology Education Programs: Middle School
In addition to bringing all these students to the UCSB for design competitions, the NNIN provides workshops in nanoscale science and technology. 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. Link to NNIN Education Portal

NNIN at UCSB is partnering 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 555 students were engaged in this program. |
Middle school students were introduced to various aspects of nanotechnology in preparation for their nanoquest challenge. Media Coverage by the Tehachapi News. A PDF version of the news article. |
