K-12 Outreach

We are partnering with the UPRM-UW Partnership for Research and Education (PREM), the Science on Wheels Educational Center (SONWEC) at UPRM and the UW-Madison MRSEC Interdisciplinary Education Group (IEG) to prepare demonstrations and educational modules in nanotechnology and deliver them to students and the general public.

We have translated into Spanish the UW MRSEC IEG's educational modules on nickel nanowire synthesis and liquid crystals - you can see these modules at the IEG video lab manual for nanoscale science and technology.
