The 5 science centres advertised the events on their website

Science centres contnue to deliver the nanoscience events as part of other programmes

Naturally Nano Iridescence of tropical butterfly wings and peacock feathers are examples of natural ‘nano-photonic’ systems Nano structures on their surface reflect light repeatedly leading to interference effects that depend on both wavelength and angle of observance

Magna Science Centre, sheffield

Magna Science Centre Nanoday 1 23 Feb 2011 (Half term holidays) family audiences 93 people: children age 7-11 and parents Experiments with the nanokit on the floor Discussions with staff on nanoscience Full day of nano-themed activities Day completed, not included into overall data Nano day 2: With 180 year 9 students (age14) at their school Focus on the video creation and the nanokit experimentation Scheduled for end June

Evaluation of Nano days 100 Pre-nano days questionnaires 100 Post-nano days questionnaires 1x Observation game chart (1 to come) 1x Grid discussion group (1 to come)

It was cool and amazing! It was fun as I got to use my imagination and work with my friends It was fascinating! I find it interesting knowing that these things can help with everyday life They were practical and you could get involved Responses from the students

It was something we had never seen before & was interesting It was different & interesting, also it makes me more curious about nanoscience More activities please! more experiments. Current ones were great but more would be fantastic

Prize-giving Judges The public engagement expert Dr Michaela Livingstone, ASDC The Teacher: Bristol schools The NanoScientist; Jon Hauser Bristol Centre for functional Nanomaterials, Bristol University The Video expert: Hugh Thomas, The closing date and deadlines The u-tube-based video contest closes on 30 June Judging panel convenes on Friday July 1
