Students gain unique hands-on experience with advanced nanoscience technologies and research methods typically found only in college-level courses, guided by UCLA researchers and faculty.
The UCLA CNSI Nanoscience Lab Summer Institute is a one-week, hands-on workshop designed for high school students with a strong interest and background in chemistry. Participants will delve into the exciting field of nanoscience through daily experiments and activities, exploring topics such as bio-toxicity, supercapacitors, and photolithography. The curriculum, developed by UCLA researchers, aims to teach key concepts of nanoscale phenomena and their applications in modern science and technology. Students will gain practical experience in scientific experimentation and communication, including sample preparation techniques and measurements using various instruments. The program also includes guest lectures from UCLA faculty and staff, tours of technology centers, and culminates in a team project and final presentation.
Mornings are focused on hands-on nanoscience experiments, followed by afternoon activities that augment the morning's learning, including guest lectures and tours of UCLA facilities.
This program is ideal for rising sophomores to graduating seniors in high school who have a strong foundation in chemistry and are interested in advanced science and technology.
