Training in nanoscience and nanotechnology


Objectives Methodology Dates Fee Location

 Objectives

The NanoEduca training is an event about nanotechnology aimed at secondary school teachers, and is complemented by a Scientific Contest. The objectives are:
1. Improve professional training and update the knowledge of secondary school teachers and their permanent training.
2. Show the increasingly common presence of products with nanotechnology components in everyday life.
3. Raise awareness of the importance of nanotechnologies and the fact that can already be considered technologies of general interest.
4. Provide teachers with tools and resources for the dissemination and communication of science.
5. Discuss and argue about the ethical implications of the introduction of nanotechnology in everyday life.
6. Create a network to exchange knowledge and collaboration between professional researchers and teachers.

 Methodology

15 hours (10 hours in person and 5 of personal work).
Attendance at 80% of face-to-face hours, preparation of a scientific poster.

Once the training is completed, the teaching staff and their students can access the NanoEduca Scientific Contest (4th edition)

 Dates

October 17th, 24th and 31th, 2018.

Program

1st session.
Introduction to nanoscience and nanotechnology
October 17th. Classroom 1006, 16h to 20 h

This session will introduce nanotechnologies, nanomaterials and their products and applications. Also, techniques and tools will be shown to teach nanoscience and nanotechnology in the classroom and previous experiences in nanodevulgation will be shared. Attendees will also be able to exchange views and raise their concerns about the topic.

- Presentation of the program and its development
- Extended introduction to nanotechnologies
- Nanomaterials: present and future
- Applications of nanotechnology and practical experiments

2nd session.
How to make a video and a scientific poster. Didactic resources. NanoEduca Teaching Guide. How to use the nanokit
October 24th. Classroom 1006, 16h to 20 h

We will present didactic resources to teach nanotechnology in the classroom. We will work on how to make a video and a scientific poster. We will work on the different experiences of the nanokit and the didactic guide NanoEduca.

- Resources to teach nanotechnology to secondary school
- How to make a scientific poster
- NanoEduca Teaching Guide
- How to use the nanokit
- Attendees will present a scientific poster, follow the instructions given. This work will correspond to 5 hours of personal work.

3d session.
Benefits and risks of nanotechnology: socio-economic implications
October 31th. Classroom 1006, 16.15h to 18.15 h

We will deal with the ethical and social aspects regarding the presence of nanotechnology in our environment. We'll see how we should work when handling nanomaterials. We will open a nanodialogue to understand the role of the different actors involved in nanotechnology.

- Concepts of nanotechnology and nanodialogue
- Nanotechnology and environmental, occupational risks, etc.
- Nanoforum on nanotechnology and society
