<br/>“NanoExplorers:  A High School Summer Science Academy,” is a ten day residential academy where students lived at Cameron for a two week period.    There were 24 high school students from Oklahoma who participated in the program.  The academy introduces students to those concepts necessary to understand why very small systems exhibit unique behavior.   Activities were divided evenly between chemistry and physics activities and concepts.  These activities were designed to introduce students to the chemistry and physics of nanoparticles and to introduce them to STEM careers.  The academy is funded though the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and NASA.  A summary of the activities included in the academy will be described in this presentation.
