Outreach 
,The group is engaged in reaching out the community by providing workshops and seminars, serving on panels, and working with K-12 educators to provide resources to young students about functional printing and scalable nano-manufacturing. Many of our outreach events are in conjunction with university programs including Nanohub, Nanodays, SMART, and WHIN. 
The events are to encourage and inspire young people to enjoy and pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). 

Fall 2018 Manufacturing week 

Jose

Armen and Jose 

     

Hosted 60 high school students at Birck for the “manufacturing week” event. The intent of the demos/presentations was to introduce students in today’s scalable nano-manufacturing technologies. They learned about our thin film piezoelectric speaker technology and had hands on experience with the ultra-sensitive impact sensor.

NanoDays at Birck Nano Technology Center 

  

   

     

NanoDays is an annual, nationwide festival of educational programs about nanoscale science and engineering and their impact on society. NanoDays engages people of all ages in learning about this emerging field of research, which holds the promise of developing revolutionary materials and technologies.

 Interactive Science Day for Middle School students

   

    

     

Hosted  an interactive scientific research presentations for middle school students who visited Purdue; created and distributed educational pamphlets on magnets and piezoelectric materials. They learned about ferrofluid's properties and their application in ​the field of catalysis, superparamagnetic composites, and medical diagnosis and therapy.
