Overview

Nanotechnology: Small Science, Big Deal!

Description:

"Nanotechnology: Small Science, Big Impact!" provides an overview of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, and includes a variety of hands-on activities and demonstrations.

Objectives

NISE Net Content Map:

Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.

Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.

Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.

Nanotechnologies have costs, risks, and benefits that affect our lives in ways we cannot always predict.

Universal design:

Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.

Provide multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement

Provide physical and sensory access to all aspects of the program. Visitors can touch, see and hear different elements of the program.

NanoDays 2012 Report

The NanoDays 2012 Report summarizes NISE Network partner activities related to NanoDays 2012 events. Participant responses will be used by the NanoDays team to improve future NanoDays materials and resources. Other Network workgroups, such as the community workgroup, will also use this report to improve partner communication, products, and resources. Read more
