Item Description
What if you were 1,000 times smaller and the size of an ant? Walking down the hall would take days! What if you shrank down another 1,000 times and became the size of a cell, crawling up an ant's leg? Moving just a couple of millimeters would take hours! Now, imagine if you were 1,000 times smaller than the cell and you could see everything the cell is made of. You are now in the world of nanotechnology! Interested in learning more? Come and tour the world-renowned, cutting-edge Therapeutic Micro and Nanotechnology Lab led by Nueva mom, Professor Tejal Desai. She will show you what her bioengineering team is doing, from developing new medicines and helping people regrow parts of their organs to developing a nanoporous biocapsule that releases medicine slowly and designing a material that can be injected after a heart attack to improve healing. You will go inside the clean room to have your try at building tiny structures — structures so small that if you put one on top of a speck of dust, it would look like you had put it in the middle of an entire football stadium. If you have an interest in bio-nanotechnology or just want to learn more, this tour is for you! The tour is for eight children, ages 10 and up. No more than two parent chaperones please. This will take place on a mutually agreed-upon Thursday or Friday afternoon between September 1, 2015, and December 15, 2015.
