900 “SimplyNano 2” experimental kits are available nationwide for upper grades in the cantons of Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and Solothurn. This means that the nano learning medium is already in use in all schools in eight Swiss cantons. By 2025, the learning medium should be available in schools throughout Switzerland.
In the latest SimplyNano 2 project, all secondary schools in the canton of Zurich were equipped with 1100 SimplyNano 2 cases. The teachers were trained in courses. This means that the cases are already available nationwide in five Swiss cantons.
Nano experiments are intended to get Zurich’s secondary school students excited about technical professions. An advanced training course for teachers at the company Vetropack AG in Bülach showed how nano experiments work and what career opportunities there are for young people in technical professions.
