Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education

Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education, SHINE, acts as a regional hub to promote awareness of the principles of nanoscience among the public, middle and high school students, and STEM educators, while expanding the diversity and number of trained nanotechnicians entering the local workforce and/or transferring to pursue Nanotechnology education at four-year institutions.

We believe that by introducing a diverse population of middle and high school students to a wide variety of Nanotechnology-related topics through inquiry-based demonstrations, and following up with consistent support and engagement activities for students who enroll in our program, we will be able to entice students of any age, gender, or race, and those with wide-ranging academic and professional goals to further their education in Nanotechnology.
