Abstract
How small is a nanometer? What makes nanotechnology so special, interesting, and unique? How is nanotechnology impacting us today and into the future? How do we see what we cannot see? How do we make things at the nanoscale? What education and career paths are available in nanotechnology? Learn the answers to these questions and more at our Intro to Nanotechnology for Educators Workshop.
Nanotechnology is at the frontier of chemistry, biology, biophysics, materials science, engineering ... just about any STEM discipline. Our everyday lives are being affected by the nano-world, including health, electronics, building materials, household products, alternative energy, and even fashion.
This workshop consisted of six sessions:
- Gain a basic understanding of nanotechnology.
- Deepen our understanding of current nanoscience research.
- Learn about opportunities and pathways for your students.
- Discover phenomena at the nanoscale, which includes activities and content that can be used to create NGSS-aligned lessons or workforce development programming.
Courtesy of the National Science Foundation, these free, workshop sessions were conducted via Zoom, with a treasure trove of additional materials and resources provided through Penn State's course management system. Certificates of Completion are provided upon request at conclusion of the workshop. An asynchronous option will be available for those who are interested but cannot commit to the set schedule.
