As part of its mission to contribute to the widespread dissemination of science, enable younger generations to discover their potential, and promote interactive and accessible science and technology, the Bilkent University National Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) regularly hosts special events for middle and high school students. Most recently, students from Üsküdar Research Development Education and Application Center High School (Üsküdar ARGEM) had the opportunity to engage with the world of science.
On Tuesday, June 11, 2024, exceptionally talented and gifted students from Üsküdar ARGEM High School toured the advanced facilities of UNAM where they observed the clean rooms and had the chance to examine specimens with an optical microscope. Additionally, they gained insights into nanomaterial synthesis, the use of nanoporous materials in nanotechnology, and information about lasers.
