What is Nano?

Coaches needing to help students discover the size of 'Nano' may want to show students the Powers of 10 video. A link to the video is on the right side in the coaching resources.

Robots, and students, attend School Improvement Conference!

NCSD students and robots attended the Wyoming School Improvement Conference to demonstrate this year's Nanotechnology Challenge. While this year's challenge will be for only NCSD sites, we are hoping to have a statewide event in 2007. See the Natrona County Schools site for an additional photo. http://natronaschools.org/
