Living Classrooms is hosting our first NanoDays Event! On Saturday and Sunday August 15-16 our open hours at our Glen Echo site (7300 MacArthur Boulevard) will feature science experiments and activities focusing on nano technology. Measure yourself in nanometers, create your own carbon molecule, learn all about how things pop and fizz, and see your fingerprints glow!
NanoDays is in collaboration with the Nanoscale Information Science Education Network (NISE), a national community of researchers and informal science educators, who have helped organize these events. NISE is dedicated to fostering public awareness, engagement, and understanding of nanoscale science and technology, which make them perfect collaborators in helping provide hands-on, environmental education.
This event is free for members of Living Classrooms, and is open for the public to attend at a cost of $5 per person, $3 for seniors (65+), and free for infants (less than 2 years). We hope you’ll make it out for a great day of games and learning!
