  2. Nanotechnology STEM Proposal Outline • The goal is to develop an introductory course on Nanotechnology. • This course will combine theoretical principles with hand on exploration. • The audience of this course are High School students studying Engineering or Science • The deliverables will be a set of 12 modules. Each module will deal with a specific Nanotechnology topic, and will combine the presentation of theory with hand-on exploration activities and projects. • The project will be developed in partnership with and with the guidance of the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center (Natick Labs.) The contact at the lab is Donna Bulger .

  3. Nanotechnology Modules • Overview of the principles of Nanotechnology • Why size matters and the power of ten • Nano Diffusion and Gelatin diffusion activity  • Atomic Force Microscopes • Nano filters for Clean Water • Solar Energy • Lithography and Electrodeposition • Magnetic Data Storage • Ferrofluid • Fabricating Nano-Sized Objects • Ozone,UV & Nanoparticles – Sunscreen Activities • Nanomedicine & Applications

  4. Additional Activities • Collaboration w/ NSRDEC Nanotechnologist toward: • Examining careers opportunities in nanotechnology • Visiting the Lab to meet Nanotechnologists • Student designing their own research project to explore Nanotechnology • Capitalize on experience with NSRDEC’s High Performance Fiber Facility • Experience exploring 3-D modeling of nanofibers • Potential Partnership with other school in the areas • Utilizing other web based resources such as: • U Mass Nanotechnology Center and on line materials • NDEP’s LABTV Webisodes including 2 filmed @ NSRDEC’s • NanoKits from Museum of Science – Minnesota • Materials World Module – Nanotechnology Program

  5. Where Do We Stand • Materials are complete • Course planned to be delivered in 2nd part of this academic year (February - June 2011) • Some of the modules will be delivered to the Sophomores (Grade 10)in the Engineering program • Some of the modules will be offered to the Seniors (Grade 12) in the Engineering program
