The project\nwas launched back in March 2018 in a press conference at the Hightech Zentrum\nAargau. This event was headed by the magistrate and head of department Alex\nH\u00fcrzeler and followed up with a large and entirely positive reaction from the\nmedia. Several regional, cantonal and national media have reported in app. 15\narticles which are attached to the final report of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project\nhas resulted in 70 schools being equipped with a total of 550 experimental\nkits. Teachers were introduced and trained in the SimplyNano 2\u00ae experiments\nduring a total of eight training courses that took place either in schools or\ngenerously hosted by companies with residence in Aargau. More than 100 teachers\nparticipated in these workshop courses. One half of the project expenses were\ncontributed by the Lotteriefond of Canton Aargau, while the other half was\nprovided by foundations, associations, and the Swiss Nanoscience Institute\n(SNI) of the University of Basel. Teachers were able to receive courses and\nexperimental kits for free, due to the generous support of these partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of the very positive experience made with this pilot project, the SimplyNano 2\u00ae project is expected to be used in other cantons of Switzerland in the future. The experimental kits and training courses aim to serve the fight against skill shortage and to spark an interest in students for science and technology. Moreover, it is also in sync with Switzerland\u2019s new syllabus that is now making its way into classrooms throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
