Nano-Link: Center for Nanotechnology Education is funded by the National Science Foundation. One of the goals of Nano-Link is to provide educators with nanoscience content that can be easily integrated into the traditional classes that they teach. Nano-Link believes that educators, armed with fun activities and good background can ignite interest and excitement in students – not only for nanoscience but for STEM and science careers in general. Therefore Nano-Link provides materials and content to educators at no cost (free).
During these workshops educators learn about nanotechnology, the fundamental concepts AND get to practice 8 to 10 of our topic specific activities. Educators leave the workshops with information and ideas – and confidence to bring this emerging technology content to their students.
Working Lunch: a free lunch will also be provided to attendees.
Below is a list of the topics usually covered in a typical workshop:
