The largest public outreach effort in nanoscale informal science education, NanoDays is a free family-oriented event organized by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network.
Visitors can explore how 3D images are made, investigate new nano products and materials and learn about the miniscule world of atoms, molecules and nanoscale forces. NanoDay events combine fun hands-on activities with presentations on current research.
NanoDays is part of a nationwide network of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering. In nanoscience, individual atoms and molecules are manipulated to create tiny machines that are the size of human cells. Future developments in nanoscience may change the design of many of from car tires to vaccines.
