I attended the nanotechnology exhibit at the Sciworks museum. It was a fun event where we tried to get children interested in learning about nanotechnology. I helped kids see how surface area effects the rate of a reaction. There were also paper bauchy ball's (I think that is how you spell the name) to create which are balls in the shape of a carbon molecule. It was an interesting experience where I got to meet a lot of really smart kids. For example, there was a three year old that told me she wanted to be a paleontologist. So, I asked her what that was to see if she knew. She told me right away, "It is a person who studies dinosaurs".
