MEM-C Visits PREM Partners UH MRE-C for Research and NanoCamp

UW MEM-C faculty and graduate students along with other UW faculty participating in the UH PREM traveled to Hawai’i last week to visit our partners at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Materials and Education Consortium (UH MRE-C). Seven MEM-C graduate students (Cossairt, Gamelin, Pozzo, Rorrer, Roumeli, Sherman, D. J. Xiao groups) and seven MEM-C faculty (Cossairt, Gamelin, Idrobo, Pozzo, Rorrer, Sherman, Carroll) were part of the visiting contingent from UW. The week started out with two full days of PREM research meetings, strategy sessions, and student presentations on the UH Manoa campus. Those research meetings were followed by three full days of MEM-C and MRE-C graduate students and faculty bringing MEM-C’s NanoCamp to Honolulu area schools with signature lesson plans like Light as a Tool, Nanoscience & Color, Nanosized Magnets, and more. UW-UH joint outreach groups (including 22 UH students, postdocs, faculty) led hands-on NanoCamp activities for over 650 students at 6 middle and high schools over 3 days!
