NanoDays
NanoDays is a nationwide celebration of nanoscale science, and you're invited! Come celebrate with us March 27 - April 3. Enjoy nano-related activities in the Museum of Science Exhibit Halls all week long, including these special events:
The Amazing Nano Brothers Juggling Show! Join Dan and Joel as the jiggle and juggle their way through the mysteries of the atomic world. March 27 and April 2 - 3, 1:00 and 3:00 p.m.
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.
Build Cool Models! Help build a giant balloon model of a carbon nanotube and make your own personal buckyball to take home.
Special Guest Presentations Watch live presentations by visiting scientists who use nanotechnology to tackle modern engineering problems.
Live Presentations Enjoy nano-themed presentations by Museum educators.
