The project is to use remote technology in real-time to enhance nanotechnology education and training, with a goal to accelerate exposure of students in grades 10-14 to the nanotechnology field and to potential careers as nanotechnicians. The project promotes the use of remote technology and nanotechnology education in community colleges and high schools throughout Illinois by focusing on the following key activities: 1) training faculty to use lab and remote technology that permits real-time experimentation when they return to their own institutions, 2) developing and implementing new nanotechnology curriculum and labs in existing STEM courses, 3) encouraging the formation of nanotechnology 2+2 partnerships across the state, and 4) evaluating the effects of the new curriculum and labs on the outcomes of interest.The remote technology has the potential to be transformative in bringing previously unavailable pedagogy into more classrooms. Exposure to nanotechnology at the high school and community college level encourages more students to explore the field in subsequent post-secondary education. The program design is based on proven models and involves participants in a statewide partnership that enhances collaboration and scientific inquiry. Collaboration with the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition and IL STEM Learning Exchange ensures outreach to traditionally underserved institutions and the program design makes it easily accessible to colleges and schools throughout the region.

该项目将实时使用远程技术来加强纳米技术教育和培训，目标是加速10-14年级学生接触纳米技术领域和纳米技术员的潜在职业。该项目通过重点关注以下关键活动，促进伊利诺伊州社区学院和高中使用远程技术和纳米技术教育：1）培训教师使用实验室和远程技术，允许实时实验，当他们回到自己的机构，2）开发和实施新的纳米技术课程和实验室在现有的STEM课程，3）鼓励在全州范围内形成纳米技术2+2合作伙伴关系，4）评估新课程和实验室对感兴趣的结果的影响。远程技术有可能在将以前无法使用的教学方法带入更多教室方面产生变革。在高中和社区学院接触纳米技术鼓励更多的学生在随后的中学后教育中探索该领域。该计划的设计是基于经过验证的模型，并涉及参与者在全州范围内的合作伙伴关系，加强合作和科学探究。与伊利诺伊州科学技术联盟和IL STEM学习交流合作，确保了传统上服务不足的机构的推广，并且该计划的设计使整个地区的学院和学校都可以轻松获得。
