MNT is an opportunity to build and foster the micro- and nano- technology communities across the country. It is a venue to share ideas and to learn from others who work to train technicians, a place to stay on the forefront of the industry and workforce needs.

Conference Participants will:

• Augment existing Micro/Nano technical expertise
• Expand their expertise in related technologies
• Gather ideas for program development and improvement
• Access and share nationally developed resource materials
• Learn about workplace knowledge, skills, and abilities requirements in technical education programs
• Recognize leaders in their efforts to promote students success and workforce development

MNT is collaboration of the six Mirco- and Nano- technology Regional Centers funded through the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education program. This year's event is proudly hosted by Seattle's Hub for Industry-driven Nanotechnology Education (SHINE) at North Seattle College. We are excited to have this opportunity to share our knowledge and lessons learned along with the other micro- nano- centers and the many educators around the country that are working hard to educate micro- and nano- technicians.

Join us for another exciting year of networking and learning together.
