SERDANG, August 20, 2023– The Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ION2) successfully organized the NanoScience Camp 2023 at the ION2 Seminar Hall. This camp, a rebranding of the Science Camp initiated by ION2 in 2014, is specifically tailored for lower secondary school students, focusing on nanomaterials and nanotechnology.

Associate Prof. Dr. Ruslinda A. Rahim, the Director of the National Nanotechnology Center, officiated the program. Approximately 30 form two and form three students from various schools in Serdang and Bandar Baru Bangi actively engaged in the camp. Although the camp received an overwhelming response from parents, a limited number of students were accommodated to ensure effective knowledge delivery and implementation of activities.

The camp featured seven specialized activities encompassing theoretical and practical aspects. These activities included sessions such as "Discover Nano: The Wonders of Nanotechnology," "Nano Adventure: Have You Found It?" and "Nano World: Beyond the Microscope Lens." Each participant was assigned to one of six groups, guided by research officers of ION2, who served as facilitators.

The NanoScience Camp received praise from both participants and parents, with the latter acknowledging its contribution to providing new experiences and knowledge in the realm of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Overall, the camp achieved its objectives and left a positive impact on the students involved.
