On December 6, a group of three Boston middle-school students
(Angel Haywood, Rachel Alexander and Besoni Cohen) and two
teachers (Pete Da Silva and Bruce Gray) visited the Nanostructures
Laboratory of RLE. They were from the Citizen Schools of Boston,
founded by Eric Schwartz and Ned Rimer. Also present for the
microscope demonstrations and presentations were Natick middle-school
students Andrew Smith-Freedman and Bryson Sicotte.

The Citizen Schools operate after-school programs for Boston
middle-school children to learn skills outside the classroom.
The children visited the MIT Nanostructures Laboratory in
order to gain understanding of the research going on here.
In addition they had prepared Power Point presentations on
nanotechnology and wanted to practice their presentations
with the faculty and graduate students of the Nanostructures
Laboratory.

These photographs show the students using both optical and
electon microscopes, and making their Power Point presentations
to the assembled staff of the Nanostructures Laboratory. The
Citizen Schools are always looking for adults to teach or
co-teach classes. For information please call Stephanie Davolos-Harden
at 695-2300 x 104.
