Schools Programme
CRANN coordinates a number of programmes and activities for school students and teachers, with the aim of raising awareness and generating excitement about nanoscience research, the range of associated products and technologies, and the types of careers that are open to skilled graduates.
We have developed teaching resources with our Nano in My Life programme, Transition Year placements, , workshops through Nanoweek and Debating Science Issues and for the last six years have participated with Intel in BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition.
A number of our researchers participate in Science Foundation Ireland’s Speakers for Schools programme. We also work closely with the Irish Science Teachers’ Association (ISTA), the Subject Association for teachers of Science in the Republic of Ireland.
