  • Start of the “SimplyNano 2” project in Central Switzerland
    The “SimplyNano 2” nanotechnology experiment kit is an interdisciplinary learning medium for STEM subjects in secondary schools. As part of the new project in Central Switzerland, secondary schools and secondary grammar schools in the cantons of Lucerne, Zug, Nidwalden, Obwalden, Uri and Glarus will be equipped with class sets of free SimplyNano 2 experiment kits and learning materials from spring 2024. The aim is to get students interested in scientific subjects and technical professions. The project is supported by more than 40 project partners and is therefore running across the board in 16 cantons!

The project in the media

  • High visibility in the media: The “SimplyNano 2” project is accompanied by the media and comprehensively documented, e.g. the media review of the SimplyNano project in the cantons BS, BL, SO. The goal is to achieve the highest possible visibility of the project, partners and sponsors at the cantonal and national level.
  • Ongoing project information: Regular press releases and information for partners’ blogs and company newsletters. Publication in cantonal school bulletins
