Take-out Science is a program designed to provide you with “take-out” access to our nanotechnology tools and experts. Approximately twice a month, we stream or post a new show in focused on a different theme. All shows are designed with K-12 audiences in mind and are open to everyone. For a sneak peak, check out this short video from our first week.
Do you have something you want to share? A fun fact, a photograph you took, a picture you drew. Please share with us via email or social media. We’ll feature some during the show.
Questions? During live broadcasts, you can ask questions live via Twitter (@RTNNsocial) or by commenting on the show’s website. You can also email us during (or after) the show (rtnanonetwork@ncsu.edu). Please include Take-out Science in the subject line.
