Another year, another class of high-school students discover the nanosciences
Following a successful trial run last year, Grenoble Institute of Technology is renewing its partnership with local high school Lycée Mounier to once again offer students introductory nanoscience courses. The program, sponsored by Nobel Laureate Albert Fert, is made possible thanks to a group effort by all the high school’s senior science teachers as well as faculty from Grenoble Institute of Technology-Phelma and CNRS.
The program aims to introduce students to the nanosciences and help them develop critical thinking skills. They will attend classes taught by visiting experts at the high school, participate in lab sessions at CIME Nanotech (as part of the Nano@school program), and prepare for a debate on nanotechnology and its influence on man. The debate, which will take place in the spring, will be attended by other members of the high school’s faculty and senior class.
