Learn about microelectronics, nanotechnology and more!



  • How are your iPod, cell phone and computer made?
  • What's it like to work in a cleanroom?
  • What are nanomaterials?
  • How do things behave at the nanoscale?


A whole world that is TOO SMALL to see!

This is a free, one day camp on nanotechnology for middle and high school students. It will include both classroom and hands-on laboratory activities, in and out of the cleanroom.
