Nanobiotechnology Summer Camp 2005

The nanobiotechnology summer camp exposed Norristown high school students to the different applications of nano and biotechnology. Students did experiments in microbiology, biotechnology, and chemistry. The use of forensics evidence were shown with blood typing and DNA analysis. Mathematical simulations and internet exploration displayed how technology is used in scientific fields. Students were treated to a conference call to NASA and the applications of nanotechnology that they are currently using.
