Science 8 helps celebrate "NANOvember" at UAlbany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering!

November 17, 2008

On Friday, Novermber 14, Mrs. Randall's Science 8 class took a trip to the UAlbany College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering for NANOCareer Day. Created to lead the effort to begin preparing students for careers in New York's fast-growing nanotechnology industry - while also addressing the national need to stimulate an interest in math and science among America's younger generation - NANOCareer Day gives students unprecedented access to CNSE. Students had the unique opportunity to put on cleanroom "bunny suits," conduct experiments to learn the basics of solar cells and fuel cells, and to tour the CNSE's $4.5 billion, world-class Albany NanoTech Complex, the most advanced research and development enterprise on a university campus anywhere in the world.
