Thank You, NanoDays Volunteers
The Sciencenter would like to thank the more than 70 enthusiastic volunteers and 750 visitors who attended our free NanoDays event in early April. Cornell University and the Sciencenter once again cosponsored NanoDays, allowing the museum to open its doors to the community free of charge. The Sciencenter would like to extend its appreciation to Cornell University for collaborating with us through its research centers, student groups, and individual scientists. Additionally, Wilson Lab offered an open house and special hands-on activities for NanoDays, with participation from the Sciencenter.
NanoDays forms part of a nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering. The national event is the largest public outreach effort in nanoscale informal science education and involves science museums, research centers, and universities from Puerto Rico to Alaska. Right here in Ithaca, the Sciencenter develops the primary set of educational activities used by hundreds of organizations every year. A big thank you to our visitors for helping us prototype these activities that will be used throughout the country at next year's event.
