This workshop covers a variety of topics related specifically to the micro and nano-scales. Topics include the history of weights and measures, the development of the metric system, unit conversions, and a comparison and exploration of the macro to the nano-scales. Activities include converting from metric to English and vice versa, solving mathematical calculations that apply to specific MEMS applications, working with objects ranging from the macro to the nano-scale, and exploring the use of a scanning electron microscope to “see” at the micro-scale.
