Curriculum Team

Vision and Goals

Our mission:

Give every high school and community college in America the resources to offer “micro” and “nano” technology courses and activities.

Our vision:

Every student in America should have the opportunity to experience the “micro” and “nano” worlds before enrolling in a university, for the benefits of the next generation of the STEM workforce.

Our goals:

Create digital educational resources for "micro" and "nano" technologies that are engaging, widely distributable, easily accessible for every student in America.

STEM Activity - How Mark Became a Nanotechnologist



Testimonial

“Now, we’re looking into introducing a year-long course in nanotechnology”



Description:

This STEM activity introduces the subject of nanotechnology, a new field of science and engineering, through the story of a college student named Mark. This story shows that many students like him are willing to undergo rigorous training to acquire the skills needed to develop transformative technologies at high-tech companies. In fact, nanotechnology applications promise to find solutions to many real-world concerns affecting human lives and the environment at large – such as water purification, clean energy production, energy storage, effective medical treatments, accurate disease diagnostics, and safe food storage, just to name a few. By learning more about nanotechnology, today’s high school students will become tomorrow’s STEM workforce for the greater good of the world. Duration: 1-2 class periods (60-90 minutes).
