Arrival of the NanoExplorers

Get in Touch

NanoExplorers science academy participants from Cameron University

I walked outside the 840 building here at the PHF Research Park this morning and saw about two dozen high school-aged teen-agers piling off of a pair of Cameron University buses. They all wore colorful T-shirts, which made me want to know what was up.

So, I walked over to the group and asked.

Turns out they were taking part in a high school summer science academy at Cameron called “NanoExplorers.”  In fact, their T-Shirts said “NanoExplorers” on the front and Cameron University on the back.

One of the students told me the field trip to Oklahoma City involved a visit with a doctor at the Research Park, whom I assume is involved in some area of nanotechnology research. But I didn’t get any clarification because NanoExplorers group leaders quickly rounded them up and herded them into the building.

Still it was exciting to see a group of high school students who are obviously interested enough in science to spend 10 days at nanocamp.

Later, I did an Internet search to find out a bit more about the NanoExplorers camp.  Friday concluded the first week of a 10-day residential camp at Cameron University that ends June 21.  It is underwritten by a grant from the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education and is free to any Oklahoma resident.

Here is a description from the NanoExplorers website:

“Students will engage in hands-on activities designed to introduce the concepts of nanotechnology and related careers in both chemistry and physics.

“Some of the activities in the academy include:

  • Construction of a solar cell
  • Construction of a super conductor train
  • Determination of the crystal structure of a chemical compound
  • Construction of a conductivity device
  • Amusement park physics which will include a trip to Frontier City in Oklahoma City.”

NanoExplorers science academy appears to be opening a giant window of possibilities to participants.  I’m sure that some day one or more of those students will wear a lab coat at work and conduct actual research on a campus like ours at the Research Park.

I’m glad I stumbled on to them as they unloaded from the buses.  It brightened the day.
