Outreach Program

Career and Technical Education (CTE) Outreach

In 2006, NDSCS received a $50,000 Career and Technical Education Grant to establish a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Outreach Program for North Dakota schools.  The program is designed to increase the student’s general understanding and appreciation of nanoscience, career opportunities, and the impact it has in our daily lives. We are working to get to all schools that have requested a visit, so look for a nanoscience session at a local school near you!  For further information, please contact Dr. Kristi Jean.
