A group of researchers, led by Dr. Samuel Baltazar, represented Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) at the at the 2nd Science and Math Fair of Colegio Tegualda in Talagante. During the event, they had a stand dedicated to nanoscience and nanotechnology, bringing students closer to the incredible world of the invisible.
“I can say that CEDENNA had a positive impact on our science fair, as the students said they were very struck by the microscopic world, especially having access to concrete material that allowed them to better visualize the concepts. I am enormously grateful to Professor Samuel Baltazar and his team for their professionalism and excellent willingness to take part in the fair,” highlighted teacher Mireya Lara of the school.
Activities like this reinforce CEDENNA’s commitment to science outreach and training new generations interested in science and technology.
