SNF is a participant
in Stanford University’s annual Community
Day (since 2004). As part of Stanford’s effort to educate
the surrounding communities about what is happening on the campus,
SNF staff and labmembers exhibited displays and demos about the
facility and NNIN. Look for our area at future Community Days. |

A very popular
part of our exhibit is a cleanroom gowning activity. Kids put on
cleanroom suits and get their names and photos printed on SNF “Junior
Nanoscientist” certificates while learning how what they consider
to be small particles such as dust are in fact large particles at
the nanoscale. Over 100 kids of all ages earned their Junior Nanoscientist
certificate at Community Day in April, 2005. |

A
"Look into the NanoWorld” microscope activity lets visitors
view ordinary objects at high magnifications. They also view nano
and microstructures fabricated in our cleanroom, using different
types of microscopes, such as low and high power optical and infrared.
Posters around the exhibit discuss a variety of nanotechnology topics
and explain what our lab and NNIN do. |
