We want you to rave about NanoDays, but first please provide 1-2 sentence descriptions of each of your events.:
We had a free family event consisting of hands-on stations that brought nanotechnology to the public. We had over 100 people attend, and got rave reviews about our event - many people were amazed at how nanotechnology is already in our lives!
What worked well with your events?:
The hands-on kits
What wasn't as successful?:
We didn't have a lecture, because it would not have been as well attended.
What would you do differently next year?:
Have additional volunteers manning the individual stations.
What changes did you make to what NISE provided to fit your institution?:
None, the kits were great!
Tell us if there is anything that the NISE network could have done to make your NanoDays more of a success:
Nothing, NISE is a great resource.
