Nano Days

Explore the exciting world of tiny technology at the Maryland Science Center’s NanoDay. New nanotechnologies may soon have a huge impact on our lives; join us for some hands-on activities to discover how and why.

The world of nano includes art, nature, and even food! Uncover the mysteries of the super-small science that makes stained glass red, butterfly wings iridescent, and pants stain-proof. Hands-on activities illuminate the mysteries of the too-small-to-see science that is making waves in many areas, from medicine to molecular gastronomy and ecology to ethics. Join us to find out why small science is the next big thing!
