UC Physics, Cincinnati Museum Center Offer NanoCamp for Kids
Little things mean a lot, the saying goes, and several Cincinnati youth got the chance to explore the littlest things nanoparticles and the research that is shaping our future as part of a UC Physics partnership with the Cincinnati Museum Center June 23-27.
It was great to see how the kids enjoyed their visit to UC and how the museum staff and volunteers were committed to making the event a success, says Professor Nayana Shah. We can see that offering the nano-science summer camp helps to get kids excited about nanoscience and the STEM disciplines.
During the program, nanocampers were able to tour UCs physics labs, learn more about the research being conducted, talk to UC professors, conduct experiments and start thinking about work in science. Professors Shah and Carlos Bolech hosted the campers along with other physics professors and students. The program is part of a week-long nanocamp offered by the Cincinnati Museum Center. Building on their involvement in organizing a
program there, Professors Bolech and Shah partnered with the Museum Center to make a visit to UC a part of the nanocamp.
It made a lot of sense to leverage from this excitement and introduce the kids to what goes on here, Shah says. We hope to get them thinking about a possible science career path and see them in the coming years in our classrooms! The camp will be offered again next summer. Visit the
for a full schedule of offerings.
