Equity

Nano Around the World is a card game designed to get participants to reflect on the potential uses of nanotechnology across the globe. Players each receive three cards: a character card, a current technology card, and a future technology card. They are asked to assume the role of their character to find nanotechnologies that might benefit them. After game play there is a facilitated discussion to help players reflect on the choices they made, the difficulty in finding appropriate technologies for many of the characters, and the possible nanotechnologies that could benefit a wider array of people than current nanotechnologies do.

Here are some easy tips, quick guidelines, and resources for understanding Sustainable Diversity and why it is relevant to the field. First presented at the ASTC 2009 Annual Meeting by the DEA group, these basic tools are being used to reach diverse audiences and will develop knowledge of how they can achieve sustainable diversity in other institutions.
