Nano technology program
This two week nano t
echnology program was really fun. We had a lot of interesting lectures and got to see a lot of mind boggling science fiction movies. My favorite movies were Children of men and Blade Runner. I liked it because every day we did something new, it was really cool.
My favorite parts were the field trips although I could not make the ones on the weekend. The coolest field was to the place 
where they made computer wafers and where they had the plasma making machine. The plasma machine was really large, but really cool. We got to look at the plasma inside through both machines. The computer wafer thing was really interesting how you have to been in a dust free suit to get in.
Another one of my favorite field trips was when we got to go to the anechoic chamber. It was very peaceful and interesting. It The lab visits where are also very interesting. I really liked playing with the new scanning electron microscope. We got to put our own hair in the machine and see at a much greater magnitude! I also really liked the algae experiment where when you agitate them they glow. Another cool lab was when we went to see the sole gel being made. It was cool because they told us all the applications rather than it just being something 
that glows.was cool hearing the sound of nothing but yourself. It felt like you were floating in the middle of nothing. If one tried to imagine a blank space in their mind it would be exactly like the anechoic chamber.
I also really enjoyed the lectures we had every day. They were always about something new and interesting to learn about every day. It was really cool that we had guest speakers that where professionals at what there presenting to talk to us almost every day. I really enjoyed this program and I thought was a wonderful experience. I learned a lot about nano technology but also about other science that pertains to everyday life.
