ABSTRACTThis project will expose a broad community of high school students and teachers, undergraduate students and the public to the nanoscale "World of the Small" as well as the rules that govern the physical world at the nanoscale level. These rules are very different from what we generally experience in our everyday lives. The tools, know-how, and environment to explore at the nanoscale have been generally out of reach of typical Makerspaces. Institutions with such capabilities often limit facilities to graduate students and research scientists. While this supports excellent research, it does not support the Maker environment of informal, process-oriented approaches to self-discovery of interests and skills. The proposed project will provide the tools, environment, and the knowledge to "Makers" to explore the "World of the Small" by applying the principles of Making. Three research questions will be addressed in the course of the project: (i) What is the impact of the Nano-Maker space / mobile Nano lab exposure on students' ability to grasp "nano" and "quantum concepts" (ii) What is the impact across different student populations of introducing Nano-Makerspaces?, and (iii) How can the findings from the project be applied to positively impact traditional educational approaches?

Abstract这个项目将揭示一个由高中生和教师，本科生和公众组成的广泛社区，向纳米级的“小世界”以及在纳米级层面管理物理世界的规则。这些规则与我们在日常生活中通常经历的规则大不相同。在纳米级探索的工具，专有技术和环境通常已经无法触及典型的制造商空间。具有这种能力的机构通常将设施限制为研究生和研究科学家。尽管这支持了出色的研究，但它不支持非正式的，面向过程的方法来自我发现的利益和技能的环境。拟议的项目将通过应用制作原则来为“制造商”提供工具，环境和知识，以探索“小型世界”。在项目过程中将解决三个研究问题：（i）纳米制造者空间 /移动纳米实验室的暴露对学生掌握“纳米”和“量子概念”的能力的影响是什么（ii）在不同学生群体中的影响是什么？纳米 - 麦克雷斯空间的不同学生群体会受到介绍的影响？
