These
evenings offer an opportunity for K-12 students and their parents to enter the
realm of science and engineering together, such as the father and son seen here
using the Center’s Exploring
the Nanoworld 'nanoscale' probe. Families interact with selected science
ideas and experiments taken from refined content developed forK-12
outreach. This program, which is based
on the successful existing national model of Iridescent, affords an
increased social interaction within and across families, an underpinning
strength that increases interest in and communication about STEM topics.
