A total of 41 experiments relating to nanotechnology can be carried out with the SimplyNano 2 learning media. NT teachers from Lucerne and Zug were given lots of practical tips on how they can make the best use of the SimplyNano experiment kits in their lessons. They were able to carry out the individual experiments on their own in an obstacle course. They enthusiastically examined the self-cleaning effect of lotus leaves or tested the adhesion of a cell phone to the gecko pad. A smoke detector was used to explore the Tyndall effect. The teachers particularly enjoyed trying out the experiments themselves. \u201cVery practice-oriented\u201d, \u201cexciting experiments with a wow effect\u201d and \u201cgreat documents\u201d were the feedback from participants. With little material effort, pupils can be inspired to learn through research.\r\n\r\nA guest at Geistlich<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe course took place at the Geistlich Pharma AG site in Root. In addition to gaining an insight into the company, the teachers also received exciting information about the apprenticeships that are offered at Geistlich in Root and Wolhusen. Geistlich Pharma is a pioneer in bone and tissue refinement and develops materials for the natural and rapid regeneration of cartilage, bone and tissue. \u201cThanks to our high Swiss quality standards, Geistlich has been able to position itself as a global leader in regenerative medicine. Science was and is extremely important to us,\u201d said Nikola Janevski, Manager Corp. Communications at Geistlich. The teachers were very interested in the career opportunities the company has to offer for young people. \u201cIt was exciting to hear what is now behind the former \u201cglue factory\u201d,\u201d commented one teacher.\r\n\r\n\u201cHalf-time\u201d in the SimplyNano project in Central Switzerland<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe training course was the fifth of a total of ten courses in Central Switzerland. The remaining course dates have also met with great interest and are already fully booked. As part of the \u201cCentral Switzerland\u201d project, 90 upper secondary schools in the cantons of LU, ZG, NW, OW, UR and GL are being equipped with class sets of more than 1,000 SimplyNano 2 experiment kits. The learning media and courses are free of charge for the schools.\r\n\r\nBroad support from more than 40 partners<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe project is financed by a broad sponsorship from companies, foundations, associations and cantons. The support of over\u00a040 project partners<\/a>\u00a0from various sectors underlines the importance of promoting science and technology in schools and encouraging young talent in these professions. Geistlich Pharma also supports the project as a partner.\r\n\r\nSource:\u00a0Innovation Society<\/a>\r\nImage source:\u00a0Innovation Society<\/a>\r\n31.10.2024\r\nRicarda Zech\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

As part of the \u201cSimplyNano Project Central Switzerland\u201d, a SimplyNano 2 experimentation course was held at the Geistlich Pharma site in Root on October 30, 2024. 17 teachers were inspired by the SimplyNano experiments.
