Outreach
Penn NanoDay 2022 presentation to high school students : Discovering stem cells to coding to quantum
Penn NanoDay 2022 presentation to high school students : Discovering stem cells to coding to quantum
Session focus: Coding STEM: how technology is pushing scientific discovery forward
Comments from students:
"Something content-related that was nice to find out was the presentation about computer programming and its application. I always thought of computing as producing codes to sell to companies to help in their processes, but I found it fascinating how the computer modeling interplayed with the experimental science aspect."
"I loved the presentation on computer science in terms of modeling experimental data. This is something that I am interested in doing in the future."
"I enjoyed the conversational tone that came with the speakers. The ability of the speakers to relay their information and advice to students in a way that we could better understand was effective in making the room connect to their ideas more easily."
Introduced high school students to experimental and simulation techniques used to analyze polymer nanocomposites.
Produced video content demonstrating the preparation of thin nanoparticle films.
