Nanofabrication Workshop for Educators

These workshops explore the world of nanotechnology and are offered several times per year. Workshop dates are posted in the News/Events section. Participants learn about the growing applications of nanotechnology in many industries including the biotechnology, MEMS, optoelectronics, chemical, and nano-electronics industries. The fundamentals of nanofabrication processes and tools are covered and practiced through processing labs in the class 10 cleanrooms of the Penn State Nanofabrication Facility.  Each workshop runs three days with the time broken down into daily morning lectures by nationally recognized Penn State researchers and engineering staff, and afternoon lab sessions in nanofabrication.

The intended audience for these workshops are high school and college educators, administrators, guidance counselors, career counselors, etc. A previous knowledge of micro or nanotechnology is not required.   To stay up to date on all our events and activities, sign up for our monthly email news here, and check our News/Events section regularly.

Pennsylvania school teachers attending these workshops may receive Act 48 credits available upon request.
