Nanoscale Microscopy is a one-week, hands-on, science learning opportunity for high school students on scientific imaging, a topic that is typically only accessible in an advanced college-level course. Specifically, students will be able to explore three essential microscopy techniques for nanoscience research: fluorescence microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and electron microscopy. This one-week summer course offers an exploratory introduction to this important scientific skill for students as early as 10th grade at the high school level. For participating students who intend to become science majors in college, this course will provide foundational knowledge of a key element in scientific observation methods. For participating students who might not pursue a science career, the course offers a glimpse into how scientists study the invisible world of atoms and molecules, which enables key technical innovations, from novel drug delivery methods to advanced energy and computational hardware systems.
