Nanotechnology - Small world, big ideas

13 Oct 2010, The Boilerhouse, Grantham, UK

This conference is the fourth in a series of events designed to improve teachers' knowledge and understanding of the materials aspects of the curriculum in order to encourage more confident teaching and raise achievement.

 

The Topic

Nanotechnology is a hot topic at the moment which covers a broad spectrum of materials and research areas.  The aim of this event is to give you an insight in to the different types of materials that can be used on a nanoscale, the difficulties associated with processing and handling them and information about their current and future applications.

 

The Venue

The Boilerhouse was opened in July 2009 and is the Institute's newest office and conference facility.  It is located in Grantham, Lincolnshire and is conveniently located for the A1 with ample free parking available on site.  Grantham is also on the east coast main line from London to Edinburgh and the venue is a short walk or taxi ride from the station.

 

Registration

Attendance at this event is FREE OF CHARGE for any teacher at a school that is a member of our Schools Affiliate Scheme.  Non-members can join the Scheme for an annual fee of £30 and attend for free, or pay a £50 delegate fee.

For more information or to register please contact Dr Diane Aston.
