NanoTechnology NanoTecNexus aims to extend its programs to include activities that involve a wider audience, especially for those interested in the field of nanotechnology but are not involved on a day-by-day basis. This includes middle - high school teachers and students as well as the general public.
Current plans include participation in a variety of programs and others are being investigated. To make this a reality, NanoBioNexus is exploring various funding sources. NanoTecNexus welcomes interest from foundations, donors, companies, and individuals who share in our vision.
We look forward to activating this program in the future. If this is an area of particular interest to you, we would like to hear from you at outreach@nanobionexus.org.

K-12 Students: Tell us why Science is Cool! Enter now for the USA Science & Engineering Festival Kavli Science Video Contest!
Have your video screened on the National Mall, win prize money and electronics and possibly even a trip to the Expo in Washington D.C.! Do you think Science is cool? Do you want to share your passion for science with others? Here is your chance to inspire thousands of people to be more curious, and to care about science & engineering the way you do: create a short video that explores the question "Why is Science Cool?" Videos might explore a scientific concept, show us the wonders of nature, give us a glimpse into the future, show us what scientific discovery has done for us in the past or will do for us in the future, introduce us to a great scientist or engineer, tell us why you think science is so cool or simply show us why we should care about science and/or engineering. Sponsored by The Kavli Foundation and conducted in partnership with SciVee, the contest closes on July 15, 2010. Prize money goes to the organization the student is representing (be it a school, after-school program, or other outreach program) - students win electronics prizes and either a trip to DC to the Expo or tickets for a VIP event to meet the Mythbusters.

The PowerfulLatinas.com seminar series was conceived as a project to compile AND SHARE a storehouse of wisdom from Latinas who have reached successful peaks in their careers. The project is an exciting one and geared to provide inspiration, personal growth and motivation for Latinas nation-wide. The goal is to motivate and inspire women – both young women who have not yet started their careers or are at the very beginning and also those further along in their careers – to learn from others’ life lessons.
Interviews have been conducted with a variety of professionals from all walks of life, with a variety of backgrounds and experiences – women in the sciences, business, academia, government, law, the arts and many other fields. Visit www.powerfullatinas.com.
MANA, A National Latina Organization, was founded in 1974 as the Mexican-American Women's National Association. MANA's original intent was to provide a voice for Mexican-American women at the national, state and local levels. Since then, the organization has expanded into a diverse group of Latinas in all areas of political, social and professional fields. Currently there are 20 chapters throughout the United States; the San Diego Chapter was founded in 1986 and has over 600 members. Visit www.sdmana.org.
