Who knew something so small could be packed with so much fun?

Peek into the miniscule world of nanotechnology during our 7th Annual NanoDays Wonderweek, March 25 April 2, 2014.

NanoDays is part of a nationwide festival of programs exploring nanoscale science, matter and engineering.

Dont forget to check out the Matter Factory exhibit where you can learn all about materials science and nano technology.

Electric Squeeze: Explore piezoelectric materials and discover how they produce electricity when their shape is changed or how they change shape with electricity at Science Station.

Computer Hard Drive: Did you know magnets are used to collect data? Use ring magnets at Science Station and learn why computer hard drives are applications of nanotechnology.

Scanning Probe Microscopes: Learn about special tools that scientists use to detect and make images of nanoscale objects at Science Station.

Elevator to Space: Think like a scientist and build your own version of the elevator to space using breakthroughs in nanotechnology at Inventors Workshop.

Stained Glass Art: Nano sized gold particles were used to make stained glass windows in medieval times. Create your own mini stained glass window at Alexander Art Academy.

DNA: Discover how DNA recreates itself by using Wheat germ DNA at Power Science Lab.
