NanoDays

For this installment of the NanoDays Blog, I want you to answer the question: How did you plan and schedule your NanoDays event?

Sylvia Algire, Assistant Manager of the Field Trips department at the Exploratorium just emailed a comment about her experience with NanoDays 2009.

How did you explain NanoDays to your PR team?

First, thanks to the folks who've contributed examples to the Kit Activities vs. Non-Kit Activities post.

There are currently 124 pictures from 19 institutions participating in our Flickr NanoDays 2009 pool (opens in a new window). If you have photos from your event, please add yours.

Frank Kusiak of the Lawrence Hall of Science took a NanoDays road trip to southern California and sent me a bunch of information about his travels! Read on for details and photos.

Beck Tench, here, your friendly NISE Net Online Community Manager. I'll be blogging NanoDays report results as they come in over the next couple of months and visualizing that data so that we can better understand how NanoDays played out across the country. (By the way, don't forget to submit your report by May 1st to be entered into a drawing for a free ASTC registration and travel stipend.)

I just got an email from Jayatri Das from The Franklin Institute about one of their NanoDays events targeted specifically to girls. The event, Girls Exploring Tomorrow's Technology (GETT), is designed to engage girls (grades 6 - 12) in science and introduce them to women who are actively involved in STEM careers.
