Dear Lena and Abid,

Education is a modern trend. It's really important to have devices for this purpose with specal features:

1. Strong mechanics

2. Manual control

3. Educational manual

It will be greate success for student, if he has a chance to do everything by himself.

The next problem is, of course, effeciency of capital investment.

Software it's the key of solving this problem. 

In my opinion, FemtoScan Labs with FemtoScan Online Software is the best solution for education. See Anastasia V Bolshakova post

Lena, Nanoeducator is a device with limited features, you may use another one with similar price but with multimode. Also it is possible to equipped class only with soft and to have access to real microscope via Internet. For more options please see

and real time scanning

Abid, thank you for your opinion. I have some ideas about what could it be, and nanoeducator is among them

Lena,you probably heard about this nanoeducator platform http://www.ntmdt.com/device/platforma-nanoedyukator-ii-1 .

I've been working with it not for a long time, but I like it because of it's simplicity in use. It's used in some universities in India and I know a lot of positive comments.

Sannette, I think that is a really great challenge! It is worth implementation! But I'm not sure I can really help you by sharing experience, because It is just my unshaped thoughts. 

Dave, I mean something like interactive lessons with real tasks but I still don't have clear undestanding and try to collect information on this topic

Sanette, I suppose that Red Cross takes part in programm like this, not research institutes and companies. There are many institutes in India, that have nanoeducation since 2004. And our experience is wide enough,we used to work with different technologies and nanoeducating platforms and saw results.I think that some of it can be usefull for your children too.

Hi Lena and Dave, I am interested in developing material to introduce nanoscience in the field of biology/life sciences for grade 10-12 children sub-saharan africa. The challenge is to make a small world real to children where even normal microscopes are a luxury. Like to hear your experiences.

Lena what do you mean by "implementation of nanotechnology in school education"?

Comment by Lena Kulikova on October 27, 2011 at 10:42pm

Dear colleagues, what do you think about implementation of nanotechnology in school education? When I was young I would be happy to have such classes in school schedule. I see many pluses in this idea: It is not as boring as ordinary classes, children can see how their work could look like, It can raise their interest in science generally and nano science in particular.
And the main minus is that children might be overworked, especially in their upper classes.

What else?

Thanks in advance
