Some comments from the 2008 Students:
"I loved the lithography session. It was so fun and interesting. You let us do it ourselves and we got to keep our creation."
"I liked that it was hands-on and that it wasn’t strict. It was great that we could ask any question we wanted and we would get an answer and actually spend a lot of time on it."

Emerging Technologies Academy for Educators
Coming June 2010
NDSCS-CNTT will be hosting a two-day, hands-on professional development experience to train teachers in some of the emerging technologies that are changing the way we live and operate as a society. Stipends are available as well as continuing education credit through the state of North Dakota. Space is limited to ensure hands-on training. Each attendee will be expected to develop lesson plans for integration into their classrooms. Modules covered will include Nanoscience, Bio-fuels, Microelectronics and Biotechnology. More details to follow, but contact Kristi Jean if you are interested.
