We are thrilled to announce that we have been challenged to raise $100,000 by the end of the year. There has never been a better or more urgent time to support our mission! A private foundation is matching all donations received through December 31, 2018. That means every dollar you donate will be doubled! But hurry: with such
Omni Nano is proud to have attended the Adelante! Young Men (AYM) Conference as a speaker for the fifth consecutive year. The annual conference brings over 2,000 boys and young men together with professional males to serve as real-life role models. AYM draws a diverse crowd with a focus on Latino youth and professionals. This year,
We are so honored to have over 1,000 students enrolled in our online STEM courses! Students from all over the world are engaged and excited to learn nanotechnology through our fun, free classes. Most learners in our English course are located in the United States and India, while our Spanish course has a strong attraction
Omni Nano volunteers have been busy preparing new super-hydrophobic cloth samples, one of our popular workshop giveaways for students. Although the tiles look like typical pieces of cotton cloth, they are actually super water-resistant. Instead of soaking into the material, water beads up on their surface, unable to penetrate. No wonder they’re such a
We are always grateful to participate in the “teach-the-teachers” workshop series at the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Each workshop gives local high school teachers all the tools they need to introduce nanotechnology labs in their science classrooms. The program is free for educators and relies on volunteers
Hitachi is developing humanoid robots that could aid in routine tasks at K-12 schools. The EMIEW3 (or “Excellent Mobility and Interactive Existence as Workmate”) can potentially mark attendance, patrol hallways, and even help tutor students. Based on Hitachi’s AI and other technologies, the prototype of EMIEW3 is auto-piloted, speaks, and uses cameras and other sensors for
Omni Nano has been honored to attend the annual USC Family Office Symposium, now in its third year, since its inception. This symposium is an excellent opportunity to network with colleagues and mentors in philanthropy. Omni Nano offers a unique opportunity for philanthropists to leave a legacy that will inspire millions of students to come.
Each year, the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) hosts a “teach the teachers” program. This free program provides science teachers with all of the resources they need to provide their students with exciting and fun nanotechnology-based lab activities. Our founder, Dr. Marco Curreli, always has a wonderful time volunteering
Omni Nano is proud to announce our new collaboration with Hitachi, which will bring a powerful scanning electron microscope (SEM) into high schools’ classrooms, providing students with the rare opportunity to explore the world at the nanoscale. We started today at Valencia High School. Over the next several weeks, students in Valencia High’s nanochemistry classes will
Omni Nano is thrilled to announce our collaboration with Denmark-based microscopy company, Strømlinet Nano, a spin-off from the LEGO Foundation’s LEGO2NANO project. The LEGO2NANO project and Strømlinet Nano promote nanotechnology education by redefining play and re-imagining learning. The company produces LEGO-style, do-it-yourself (DIY) probe microscopes that can produce images of atomic surfaces, making it the most cost-effective nano-imaging tool in the
Our mission is to educate and inspire today’s youth to become tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs of nanotechnology.
