 SCIENCE QUEST, FALL 2011
 
 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15
 
 UMASS AMHERST CAMPUS
 
 http://www.umass.edu/massnanotech/scienceQUEST2011/
 
 For high school students interested in science, Science Quest is a great opportunity
 to visit the UMass campus, engage in hands-on science activities and demonstrations,
 and see presentations by UMass faculty members.  Students can discover how nanoscale
 devices and materials are made, or how a crumpled piece of paper can help explain
 principles of energy and matter.  Or, they may choose a mini-course on the political
 as well as technological aspects of modern energy sources such as biofuels, solar
 energy and fuel cells.  Also a panel of UMass undergraduate science students will
 discuss what it is like to be a science major at UMass, and a group of students will
 discuss their brand new iCons program.
 
 The event is FREE.  Each attendee must register individually to choose their own
 agenda.  Students may attend on their own, with a parent, or as part of a school
 group with a teacher.  TEACHERS ARE WELCOME TO BRING THEIR CLASSES TO SCIENCE QUEST
 A FIELD TRIP!
