CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex
Learn about other exciting activities occuring during CNSE's NANOvember!
Girl Scouts from throughout the region will experience the high-tech workplace of the future at CNSE firsthand at NanoExplorations.
NanoExplorations is designed to address the critical effort to prepare students for a growing number of nanotechnology-related career opportunities in the Capital Region and New York State - and the national need to stimulate an interest in math and science among America's younger generation.
The event will include presentations by CNSE faculty on the emerging science of nanotechnology and the career opportunities it offers; hands-on activities highlighting the exciting advances enabled by nanotechnology research and development; and, tours of CNSE's $5 billion Albany NanoTech Complex.
The National Science Foundation projects the need for 2 million nanotechnology-savvy workers by 2014, with 20 percent expected to be scientists and the remaining 80 percent consisting of highly skilled engineers, technicians, business leaders, economists and others, with expertise ranging from two-year associate degrees to doctoral degrees.
