As part of a collaborative effort between the National Science Foundation and a number of other institutions, the Penn State Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization is designed to incorporate nanotechnology into all levels of education and into industry applications. The materials on the site are divided into sections such as "Education", "Industry", "News", and "Resources". A good place to start is the "Education" area, as it contains information on different outreach programs, and most importantly a set of educational tools. These tools include video segments on various aspects of nanotechnology and a Flash-based introduction to nanoscale properties that can be used in the classroom. Visitors can also sign up to receive their bi-monthly bulletin as well. Finally, the site also includes information about upcoming workshops and conferences that may be of interest to educators and people in the nanotechnology industry.
