Description: "Too Small to See–2," a nanotechnology exhibit, designed for children ages 8 to 13, will be hosted by the California Nanosystems Institute at the University of California, Santa Barbara in the main lobby of Elings Hall through May 31, 2008.
Through a variety of hands-on activities, visitors to the exhibit will learn how scientists use sophisticated electron microscopes, molecular models, and computer graphics to understand the structure and properties of nanomaterials.
"Too Small to See–2" is a smaller version of the exhibit "Too Small to See," which was developed by Cornell University and funded by the National Science Foundation. That exhibit debuted last year at Walt Disney World's Innoventions at Epcot where 800,000 visitors were immersed in the nanoscale world. The California Nanosystems Institute at UCSB is the first to host the traveling exhibit–"Too Small to See–2"–developed specifically for a smaller venue.
The exhibit will be open to the public from 3 to 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Thursdays, and from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, excluding December 22, 25, and 26 and January 1.
