Long Activities
Long activities include workshops, labs, and lessons for student and public groups. They are typically presented in a dedicated classroom or lab space. Length of time can vary from 45 minutes for an elementary field trip or classroom program to several hours or days for labs, summer camps, and other program formats.
Liquid Body Armor
In this activity, learners find out that nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics using the classic "Ooblek" experiment.

Biomimicry: Synthetic Gecko Tape through Nanomolding
In this long activity, learners make a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics that behavior of the gecko foot.
Product
Moon Adventure Game Digital Kit
In this collaborative game, players will work together to solve a series of challenges grounded in real science about living and doing research on the Moon.
Product
Balloon Nanotubes (Giant Hanging Model)
In this activity, learners use a balloon model to observe how the carbon atoms are arranged in a carbon nanotube

Explore Mars! A Rover Game
In this cooperative board game, players work together to program a rover on Mars to successfully complete its mission. Players must collect all four data samples before the treacherous environment damages the rover beyond repair!
Product
Photolithography
In this long activity, learners will use UV light to transfer a pattern (either a network of very small metal wires or self-drawn patterns) onto a plastic board in a process called photolithography.
Product
Nano Science & Engineering Outreach Education Classroom Program
In this hour long activity, learners are introduced to nano science and nanotechnology as a leading, cutting edge science with an emphasis on nano in nature, health, energy and the environment.
