Eight highschool centers of 1r BTX students came this year to the 10alamenos9 Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Festival organized by the UAB, ICN2, ICMAB and IMB-CNM, with the collaboration of ICE.
This year the 10alamenos9 Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Festival took place on 25 April 2023, during a whole morning of activities. The program started with a first visit to the research centers for science activities (at UAB, ICN2, ICMAB and IMB-CNM) from 9 to 10 AM.
From ICMAB, Judith Oró and Anna Crespi prepared some activities related with the Transmission Electron Microscopy and the X-Ray Diffraction characterization techniques to discover and characterize some properties of the materials. They even did iridescence chocolate to explain diffraction patterns and bubbles to explain thin films.

We had at ICMAB, in this first visit, 25 students from 1r BTX of the Institut Joaquima Pla i Farreras, from Sant Cugat del Vallès.
Then, the 8 highschool students gathered at the UAB Seminar Hall from 10:30 AM to 12 PM for a roundtable session with young nanoscientists who are now starting their research career after having studied nanoscience. The idea was that the 5 young nanoscientists presented themselves and their work, and then the highschool students could ask some questions.

After this session, another visit to the research centers was programmed from 12 to 1 PM. In this second round we had 25 students from 1r BTX of the Insitut Icària from Barcelona.

Thank you to the ICE for the collaboration and contacts with the highschools, and thank you to the other research centers (ICN2 and IMB) and university (UAB) for the co-organization of the festival, one more year and to the ICMAB staff involved for all their help!
