National Science Foundation logoThe Nanotechnology Program at North Seattle Community College has been awarded a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education project grant (DUE Award #0903254), which establishes the "Seattle Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education" (SHINE) to promote nanotechnology education in the Pacific Northwest.

This project has several components focusing on increasing engagement for our current students and supporting outreach activities to entice future students. This grant will also support an annual summer "Train the NanoTrainer" workshop, during which regional community college and high school educators will become empowered to bring nanotechnology back to their home classrooms.
