It's time to register for the

8th Annual K-12 Nanotechnology Teacher Conference


Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at Holloway Commons on the Campus of

The University of New Hampshire Durham, NH

 FREE and Open to all K-12 teachers with a knowledge of or interest in science 
and technology.

Nanotechnology is the latest "revolutionary" technology that is bringing 
sweeping changes to the 21st Century.  Some of the applications are already 
here.  Find out what they are, and how they will affect the lives and 
professions of your students in the near future. Come to the Nanotechnology 
Conference and get answers to the following questions:

  *   What is Nanotechnology?
  *   Where is it being investigated?
  *   Why is it so important?
  *   What applications of nanotechnology already exist?
  *   What applications are thought possible in the next 5 to 15 years?
  *   What are the societal and ethical impacts of nanotechnology?

Also learn how you can get involved in developing ways to inform the next 
generation of workers (your students) who may very well earn their living as 
well as benefit from this new technology.

If you have never been to this conference, or if you haven't attended in some 
time, it's time to get a fresh perspective on the up and coming field that is 
already sweeping the nation, and the world.
