Nanoscale Informal Science Education Outreach

Major Findings

Overall, participants were highly enthusiastic about the workshop, the skills they learned, and the benefit to their institutions resulting from participation. Though the connections made at the workshop are valuable, they can be transient, moving with the individual rather than being formalized at the institutional level. The NISE Net annual meetings need be organized in such a way that the participants are clear about their roles and what they have to offer to the wider group.
