Past Nano@Tech News

August 1, 2006
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 monthly 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. Below is a recap of the Nano @ Tech seminars so far this year:
The Nano@Tech volunteer group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in room 102 of the MIRC building starting at noon. Our featured speakers come from all the disciplines that are involved in nanotechnology research and the seminars represent an excellent opportunity for cross-pollination in the growing field of nanotechnology research.
Please visit Techlinks, the GT Whistle, http://nano.gatech.edu , and http://grover.mirc.gatech.edu and RSVP to: katie.hutchison@mirc.gatech.edu since lunch is provided and seating is limited. All interested parties are invited.
If you would like to become a member of this group to receive information related to Nano@Tech events please send an e-mail to Diana Palma at diana.palma@mirc.gatech.edu.
