Free Outreach Education Programs
Introduce your students to the emerging field of nanotechnology through our free hands-on NanoDemos.
NanoDemos are EALR and GLE aligned education programs that engage students in interactive demonstrations and are taught by members of the Student NanoAmbassador Program (SNAP). NanoDemos can take place at your school or youth organization or on campus at North Seattle Community College. All programs can be tailored to fit the needs of your classroom or organization including adding tours of research laboratories.

What Color is Gold?
What Color is Gold? introduces students to the field of nanotechnology and its applications. Gold nanoparticles are being studied to help in the detection of cancers and other toxins. Students will learn about how gold nanoparticles have different properties from gold at the macro scale while conducting an experiment to create a salt sensor that utilizes different colors of gold.
