Omni Nano is proud to have been a part of another teacher training workshop today at the California NanoSystems Insitute (CNSI) at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Over 20 local high school teachers participated in the hands-on, interactive “Photolithography” workshop, which was all about writing patterns with light. As with all CNSI training
California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) continued their 2017 teacher training workshops with the most recent focusing on water purification methods. Worldwide, every 90 seconds a child dies from from a water related disease.* Now, more than ever, nanotechnology applications are needed to ensure the availability of clean, safe water for everyone. About 20 teachers from the
On November 18th, CNSI High School Nanoscience Workshop focused on Nanoscale Control of Wetting. Participants engaged in the use of superhydrophobic materials, both in their natural and man made states. Hands-on experiments were taught and explained step-by-step, so teachers can recreate activities in their classroom. Teachers were given materials and supplies to take with them to perform
Omni Nano is excited to be volunteering at CNSI/UCLA Nanoscience teacher training for the fourth consecutive year. The first workshop of the series focused on “Biotoxicity,” teachers were given materials to show how certain nanoparticles have anti-bacterial/anti-microbrial properties. Each participating teacher received materials and supplies to take home to perform the lab activity in their classrooms!
Omni Nano wants to share the CNSI NanoScience Teacher Workshops 2017-2018 schedule with you. Omni Nano was created to reach an underserved population of nanotech students and teachers. It’s great to know that the CNSI is also focusing on this important mission. View the labs schedule directly on the CNSI’s website: https://cnsi.ucla.edu/schedule-2017-18/ “It’s great to see
Omni Nano participated at the last CNSI High School Nanoscience workshop for teachers this past week at the University of California Los Angeles California NanoSystems Institute. Here, teachers were taught nanoscience experiments to integrate into their science curricula, to help enrich their STEM students’ education and garner interest in new topics in science. It was
At this past CNSI High School Nanoscience Program workshop at the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA in Los Angeles, high school science teachers from the Greater Los Angeles Area learned about “nano” water filtration, giving them more tools to add to their curriculum for better student preparation for jobs and careers in nanotechnology. At the
At todays UCLA/CNSI High School Nanoscience Program workshop, teachers from high schools from the Greater Los Angeles Area participated in this workshop on “Biotoxicity,” where they were able to get hands on experience and learn the resources to effectively teach this topic to their students. This workshop at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA in Los
This past weekend, about 20 teachers from the Los Angeles Area learned about “Writing Patterns with Light,” a hands-on and interactive workshop as a part of the UCLA/CNSI High School Nanoscience Program at the California NanoSystems Insitute at UCLA in Los Angeles. Teachers were taught and trained to use light to generate patterns. As usual
In this weeks Nanotechnology workshop as a part of the UCLA/CNSI High School Nanoscience Program at the UCLA California NanoSystems Institute in Los Angeles, Science teachers learned about creating “Super-Water-Repelling Surfaces,” led by students and volunteers. Hands-on experiments were taught and explained step-by-step, so teachers can recreate the lab activity in their classroom. Each teacher
Our mission is to educate and inspire today’s youth to become tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs of nanotechnology.
