Wiggle, Wobble, Nanobot Challenge (HS)
“Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately (1 and 100 nanometers), where unique phenomena enable novel applications”. Students will be introduced to the concept of nanotechnology and will develop a working knowledge about the nanoscale and the nanoworld. Students will explore, relate and apply the topic of nanotechnology through simple robotic engineering and the topic of medicine. Students will learn about nanotechnology and use today as it is applied to medicine and robotics.
objectives
Students will be able to:
- Students will gain a basic understanding of nanotechnology and its use and application today.
- Students will use the scientific process and the scientific method to perform simple experiments and to build various simple robotics using various materials with application to nanorobotics.
- Students will explore the use of nanorobotics in real world applications to medicine.

HS‐ET1‐1 Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.
HS‐ET1‐2 Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.
HS‐ET1‐3 Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.
