High-school juniors attend Nano@school
On November 28, 2011, juniors from Saint Ambroise High School in Chambéry had the unique privilege of attending the school year’s first Nano@school session at MINATEC. Eleven more sessions are scheduled between now and May 2012 at four of the CIME Nanotech technology platforms. Nano@school gives high-school students from Isère, Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and the Drôme the chance to discover the exciting field of nanotechnology through a series of workshops on cutting-edge topics like nanoparticles, integrated circuit design, and solar cells.
The workshops are given by physics and chemistry teachers who received special training at MINATEC in early November. Back at their home schools, the students will have to complete a “nano” project. More volunteers are still needed to help facilitate Nano@school events—sign up now and meet the next generation of nanoscientists!
