Overview

Description:

Nano Future Tellers are origami-folded, interactive pocket game to educate visitors ages 7-12 about future nano products! Everyone's favorite fortune telling game brings potential future nano products to life!

Objectives

Big Idea:

To engage visitors ages 7 to 12 in a conversation about nanoscale science, technology, and engineering. Visitors will be asked to explore the future of nanoscale science and the impact it will have on their lives.

Learning goals:

As a result of this program, visitors will be able to learn the following: -Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale. -Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren’t possible before. -Nanotechnologies have costs, risks, and benefits that affect our lives in ways we cannot always predict.

NISE Net Content Map:

Nanometer-sized things are very small, and often behave differently than larger things do.

Scientists and engineers have formed the interdisciplinary field of nanotechnology by investigating properties and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.

Nanoscience, nanotechnology, and nanoengineering lead to new knowledge and innovations that weren't possible before.

Nanotechnologies have costs, risks, and benefits that affect our lives in ways we cannot always predict.

Universal design:

Repeat and reinforce main ideas and concepts.
