Electron Technologies: Modeling Pico Worlds for New Careers

This project, from the Concord Consortium, is "working with Parkland College, and four ATE Centers (NANO-LINK, BIO-LINK, MATEC, and OP-TEC) to develop approximately 16 field-tested interactive computer-based learning units addressing core content and technical applications such as nanotechnology, photonics, electronics, materials science, biotechnology, and chemical engineering. In addition, the project will create accompanying models intended for use by an online community of educators to create, customize, post, and critique additional model-based learning activities." On the site, visitors will find more information on the project and research, help for participants, and a link to their project portal. The project portal requires a log in, but once logged in visitors will find activities on Electrons, Quantum, and Semiconductors.
