Nano@Tech
Sharing Our Knowledge, Shaping the Future
Nano@Tech is an organization comprised of professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students from the Georgia Tech and Emory campuses and professionals from the corresponding scientific community that are interested in Nanotechnology. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month during the academic year at noon in Room 102 of the Microelectronics Research Center (MiRC).
The major focus of the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network’s Education Program in 2006 aimed at technology workforce development, and the Education and Outreach Office at Georgia Tech’s Microelectronics Research Center launched a rigorous schedule of seminars and K-12 tours. Now summer camps are underway and all these efforts have proven valuable to hundreds of scientists, graduate and undergraduate students, teachers, and elementary through high school students who have participated so far this year.
This success is due to the growing commitment of a dedicated group of cross-disciplined Georgia Tech engineers and researcher members of Nano @ Tech, a networking group that meets for seminars and have generously volunteered their knowledge, research topics, given tours of labs and the MiRC cleanroom, as well as motivation about NanoCareers and the exciting potential they offer to young people today.
