CHN Graduate Student Education and Outreach Summary of 2010 Focus Groups

One objective of the Center for High-rate Manufacturing is to increase knowledge of and interest in nanotechology among secondary and postsecondary students, educators, and the general public. The Center partners with the Museum of Science, Boston, to help carry out these goals. The Museum's CHN sub-award PI and her team provides training to graduate students to help them learn how to engage in education and outreach activities with these groups. To better understand graduate student education and outreach activities, and student participation in the Museum of Science outreach activities and its Sharing Science Workshop and Practicum, focus groups were conducted in August 2010 by the UMass Donahue Institute with CHN graduate students at Northeastern University, UMass Lowell, and the University of New Hampshire.
