Education

The Education and Outreach programs at the Center for Nanoscale Science provide opportunities for students, teachers and anyone with an interest in science to learn about how nanoscience touches our lives and how cutting edge research could change our world in the future. These opportunities provide a venue for graduate students, postdocs and faculty to develop experience in communicating the excitement and wonder of science and technology with both general and specialized audiences.

We'd like for you to get involved! Whether it is to satisfy your curiosity about science, bring new subject matter to your classroom, or to provide new learning opportunities for your children, please contact us if you would like to participate. If you want to volunteer to contribute to any of our education or outreach, we welcome volunteers from both within and outside the MRSEC membership.
