Abstract
IMPACT. 1: Integrate the technical expertise and research capabilities at the Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS) with the curriculum at Metro High school. -- 2. Ability to provide a revolutionary learning experience in a newly designed digital theater with remote access to several million dollars worth of microscopy equipment. -- 3. No one else is able to offer a similar program because our facility at CEMAS is uniquely positioned to provide excellent on-site microscopy experiences as well as the teaching/research expertise.OSU PARTNERS: College of Engineering; Materials Science and Engineering; Center for Electron Microscopy and AnalysisCOMMUNITY PARTNERS: Metro High SchoolPRIMARY CONTACT: Isabel Boona ([email protected]); Frank Scheltens ([email protected])This program will be one of the first collaborations between a multidisciplinary microscopy facility and a local high school. The intent is to introduce high school students to the concept of microscopy based materials examination through the development of teaching modules that can be incorporated into a curriculum as part of an existing course or as stand-alone senior level projects. The program will make use of CEMAS developed digital theater and remote instrument access capabilities
