Several studies have stressed the importance of includingnanoscale concepts and topics into the K-12 curriculum. One approach that the NationalNanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) has developed to explore NSE topics withsecondary students is through summer programs. At the Georgia Institute of Technology site ofthe NNIN we offer one week camps to introduce a variety of nanoscale concepts. The GeorgiaTech camp provides numerous hands-on activities to explore themes

Digital fabrication offers the opportunity to bring activities that are more like STEMprofessions to students than traditional classroom instruction. Similarly, the engaging nature ofthese activities may improve student attitudes toward STEM disciplines and increase thelikelihood that students will take advanced STEM coursework and choose STEM careers.Digital fabrication involves creating physical objects from a digital design.

other words,there is no “one correct solution.” Engineering design can be a very engaging pedagogicalstrategy, particularly with adolescents, because people can bring their values to their designsolution. Optimal solutions are also not stagnant and unchanging. For example, even if asolution were optimum at one moment in time for the specifications and constraints that wereimposed, new technologies, new opinions, and new perspectives might lead to redefined ordifferent solutions. This is a very empowering and unique feature of engineering that is insignificant contrast to scientific and mathematical understandings where hypotheses andtheorems may be refined but generally remain unalterable.
