Time for some bittersweet news! This semester’s Introduction to Nanotechnology class at West Los Angeles College (WLAC) has come to a close. Overall, the class did very well and was inspired to continue their nanotechnology/STEM education. It has been forecasted that nanotechnology will become a trillion-dollar industry and provide millions of well-paying jobs within the next couple
Happy 100th birthday to Richard Feynman! The “Father of Nanotechnology” was born on this date in 1918, though the lessons he taught the world are timeless. Besides being a brilliant physicist and Nobel laureate, Feynman was constantly curious about the natural world about him. He was fascinated by ant trails, played the bongo drums, and was skilled at
Through a collaboration with the Hitachi Inspire STEM Education Program, Omni Nano’s Introduction to Nanotechnology students at West Los Angeles College (WLAC) were able to add an important skill to their résumé: operating a scanning electron microscope (SEM). We’re so glad WLAC President, Dr. Jim Limbaugh, had a chance to stop by and see this one-of-a-kind collaboration with
For the second year in a row, Omni Nano has been sponsored to participate in the High Impact Technology Exchange Conference (HI-TEC). This NSF-sponsored national conference on advanced technological education invites secondary and post-secondary educators, counselors, industry professionals, trade organizations, and technicians to update their knowledge and skills. This year, HI-TEC is turning up the heat:
Nanotechnology students from WLAC visiting the USC-CEMMA. Here, students discuss sample imaging with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with graduate students. This afternoon, Introduction to Nanotechnology students from West Los Angeles College (WLAC) had the opportunity to examine advanced microscopes up close and personal at the Center for Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis (CEMMA) at the University
Omni Nano had the pleasure of attending a luncheon hosted by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). It’s always so empowering to be surrounded by like-minded organizations devoted to improving our communities! We were especially inspired by the Wells Fargo Foundation, which shares a mutual goal with Omni Nano to promote economic and workforce development through
Our mission is to educate and inspire today’s youth to become tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs of nanotechnology.
