Nanoscience for High School Students  
  
 
 
 

Welcome to Nano*High 2008-2009!

Registration and schedule coming soon!

The Molecular Foundry at the University of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory (LBNL) invites you and your students to Nano*High, a series of free Saturday morning lectures by UC Berkeley professors and LBNL scientists conducting research on the cutting edge of the exciting new field of nanoscience. This is our fifth year of Nano*High. Last year over 600 students attended.

Meet and talk with world-renowned UC Professors and Berkeley Lab scientists and graduate students. Learn about their research into the world of the ultra small and how it will affect our future. Nano*High is sponsored by UC's Berkeley Lab for high school students of all interests and teachers of all subjects—no science background needed.

All talks begin at 10AM and are held in the Building 66 Auditorium. The talks last for approximately one hour with time for questions.
