Thanks for the invitation. I am very interested in attending this conference 
since National Chemistry Week 2012 is devoted to nanotechnology.  It will be a 
good way to prepare to present the topic to my students. I just would like to 
get some information on the workshops and about the keynote speaker so I can 
justify to my Principal missing a day of work to attend.
Thank you
Mrs. Hines

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.
