A high-caliber, independent jury made up of representatives from business, research, science and development, as well as from the federal administration and engineering sector, had made 25 nominations in five categories from previously submitted dossiers. The jury, headed by Prof. Dr. Sarah M. Springman, rector of ETH Zurich and Professor of Geotechnical Engineering, selected the winners in the various categories. The SimplyNano project won in the category \"Promotion of young talent in the field of technology\". The award recognizes the convincing concept, the high-quality didactic content and the generous support of numerous companies and foundations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The future belongs to the children! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With SimplyNano, the SimplyScience Foundation, which gave the project its name, aims to spark young people's enthusiasm for scientific and technical subjects and for technical professions, and securing the next generation of skilled workers in Switzerland. This is achieved by means of exciting experiments with nanotechnology - SimplyNano thus pursues an integrative approach in the promotion of young talent on three levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the novel experiments inspire students - in particular young women \u2013 for science and technology<\/li>\n<li>teachers are trained at educational workshops<\/li>\n<li>these workshops take place at companies that support SimplyNano and provide a chance for networking between teachers and trainers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This concept was particularly convincing to the jury. In her laudation, Clementine Hegner-van Rooden said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\"High school children are motivated to deal with the nanoscale - just at the moment of choosing a profession. On a didactic but very specific level, this awakens a sensitivity for a field that has so far been little known at this level and hopefully raises creative specialists for our professional world. Because in every innovative idea there is a core of creativity and curiosity. The future belongs to the children.\"<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thanks to the financial support of partners and sponsors, all components of the teaching medium can be made available to schools free of charge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-19648-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-19648-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-19648-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"566\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-566x800.jpg\" class=\"image wp-image-19643  attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" srcset=\"http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-566x800.jpg 566w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-226x320.jpg 226w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-768x1086.jpg 768w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-677x958.jpg 677w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-88x124.jpg 88w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-170x240.jpg 170w, http:\/\/innovationsgesellschaft.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Plakat_11.2021-728x1030.jpg 728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-19648-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-19648-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-19648-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><p><strong>In use throughout Switzerland from 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The SimplyNano 2 experimental kits are already available in four cantons (AG, SG, AR, AI) in all secondary schools. The project is currently being implemented throughout the canton of Zurich and made available to secondary schools. Starting next school year, the kits will be introduced in the cantons of Basel-Landschaft, Basel-Stadt and Solothurn. By 2025, the SimplyNano 2 teaching medium should be available to all secondary schools throughout Switzerland. In this way, a contribution can be made in all Swiss schools to promote the next generation of skilled workers in technological occupations.<\/p>\n<p>The SimplyNano 2 teaching medium was developed by the Innovation Society, a St.Gallen-based start-up, and is published by the SimplyScience Foundation. It is a non-profit foundation that aims to interest children and young people in scientific and technical topics. The project is supported by the public sector, foundations and companies.
