CHEM21

Overview

Will nanotechnology be the key to solving the underlying problems of our civilization in the 21st century? How do we manipulate matter and engineer devices on a scale as small as one billionth of a meter? Chem21 students learn about nanotechnology, which is inherently interdisciplinary and draws knowledge from physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, materials engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Students participate on research teams and apply artistic design and science research skills to develop simulations and visualizations of nanotechnology applications. This course meets all Connecticut State Department of Education (CT SDE) chemistry standards.
