NC State NanoDaysTM
Join us for NanoDays 2008 at NC State University on Friday, April 4th from 2PM until 5PM. We will be in the atrium of Engineering Building I on Centennial Campus. For maps and directions please visit the NC State home page and click maps and directions in the top right hand corner.
Nanodays is a state-wide event designed to open the world of nanoscale science and nanotechnology to citizens, teachers, and students. It is appropriate for all age groups, especially elementary, middle, and high school students. Students, teachers, and family members will experience hands-on Nano activities and tour laboratories on Centennial Campus that are currently conducting Nanoscience and Nanotechnology research.
During NanoDays 2007, over 2,000 middle and high school students visited the NCSU campuses and toured laboratories, met scientists and engineers, and conducted investigations like making "nano" icecream.
Check out some photos from NanoDays 2007 below!
