A crowd consisting of hundreds of children, adults and families participated in Community Day today at CNSE, the first in a series of events that are part of CNSE's unprecedented community and educational outreach initiative known as NANOvember.

Community Day featured presentations, booths, interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities, as well as tours of the cutting-edge cleanroom facilities at CNSE's $4.5 billion Albany NanoTech Complex - the most advanced research enterprise in the academic world - all designed to showcase the exciting technological breakthroughs being enabled by nanotechnology and the global leadership of the UAlbany NanoCollege in the science described by the National Nanotechnology Initiative as "leading to the next Industrial Revolution." 

NANOvember is part of "NEXSTEP,"  or "Nanotechnology Explorations for Science, Training and Education Promotion," a partnership between CNSE and KeyBank, spearheaded by CNSE's Nanoeconomics Constellation, featuring educational initiatives that promote greater understanding of the changing economic and business environment in the Capital Region and New York State being driven by nanotechnology.
