(Nanowerk News) Students bellow the age of 18 are encouraged to participate to the NanoArt K12 program launched by NanoArt21 in collaboration with The Nanotechnology Group.
The purpose of this worldwide program is to support the education of the new generations of artists and scientists and to promote the art-science-technology intersections and NanoArt for a better youth development.
