Dissemination of Nanotechnologies for Energy Production and Environmental Protection in Rural Areas of WyomingMaohong FanTechnical Description Project goals are to provide opportunities for GK-12 Fellows to assume responsibilities as researchers, grade 10-12 (G10-12) educators and students and to infuse STEM education with energy and environmental nanotechnology (ee-nanotechnology); and to foster the collaborations of University of Wyoming (UW) with its partners to enhance STEM education. Project theme is to disseminate ee-nanotechnology. The related STEM disciplines are chemical, environmental and mechanical engineering; physics, chemistry, mathematics. The approaches include expanding the transferable expertise of GK-12 Fellows in ee-nanotechnology, providing ee-nanotechnology knowledge for K-12 teachers and students, increasing students? STEM career interests, strengthening UW?s collaborations with its partners, utilizing cyber infrastructure in GK-12 programs, and sustaining the project. The innovative approach is to use cyber infrastructure for spread of ee-nanotechnology. The activities to be conducted include involvement of Fellows, teachers and students with ee-nanotechnology projects, seminars, various collaborations; Fellows? service learning from G10-12 teachers and students; participation of teachers in UW?s classes and research works; joint-development of STEM curricula by teachers, Fellows and mentors; integration of the project into UW graduate program; and expansion of cyber infrastructure for GK-12 programs. Broader Impact The project will enhance GK12 Fellows? understanding of ee-nanotechnology while improving their communication, team building and leadership skills. G10-12 teachers will improve their STEM content knowledge and instructional strategies. G10-12 students will become more interested in STEM careers. UW will benefit from institutionalizing K12 STEM partnerships in its graduate programs.

项目目标是为GK-12研究员提供机会，承担研究人员、10-12年级（G10-12）教育工作者和学生的责任，并将能源和环境纳米技术注入STEM教育。（ee-nanotechnology）;并促进怀俄明州大学（UW）与合作伙伴的合作，以加强STEM教育。 项目主题是传播电子-纳米技术。 相关的STEM学科是化学，环境和机械工程;物理，化学，数学。 这些方法包括扩大GK-12研究员在电子纳米技术方面的可转移专业知识，为K-12教师和学生提供电子纳米技术知识，增加学生？STEM职业兴趣，加强UW？的合作伙伴，利用网络基础设施的GK-12计划，并维持该项目。创新的方法是使用网络基础设施来传播电子纳米技术。 要进行的活动包括研究员，教师和学生参与ee纳米技术项目，研讨会，各种合作;研究员？从G10-12教师和学生的服务学习;教师在华盛顿大学的参与？的课程和研究作品;由教师，研究员和导师共同开发STEM课程;将该项目整合到UW研究生课程中;并为GK-12计划扩展网络基础设施。更广泛的影响该项目将提高GK 12研究员？了解电子纳米技术，同时提高他们的沟通，团队建设和领导技能。G10-12教师将提高他们的STEM内容知识和教学策略。G10-12学生将对STEM职业更感兴趣。UW将受益于在其研究生课程中将K12 STEM伙伴关系制度化。
