The Amazing Nano Brothers Juggling Show! Join Dan and Joel as the jiggle and juggle their way through the mysteries of the atomic world. Friday, March 26, 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
Live Presentations Enjoy nano-themed presentations by Museum educators. Friday, March 26 - Saturday, March 27
Explore Hands-on Nano Join scientists from Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and the University of New Hampshire as they demonstrate exciting new projects in nanoscale science and engineering. Saturday, March 27
Build Cool Models! Help build a giant balloon model of a carbon nanotube and make your own personal buckyball to take home. Saturday, March 27
Special Guest Presentations Watch live presentations by leading researchers in the field of nanotechnology, and learn how they use nanotechnology to tackle real-world engineering problems. Saturday, March 27
Nanotech in Our Lives Think nanotechnology is limited to the lab? Think again. Try out nanotech-enhanced products already on the market, and learn about the science that makes them work! Saturday, March 27
