By 2015, the nanotech industry will need two million workers and approximately six million supporting positions worldwide. Get in on the ground floor of the “nanoworld” – and find out how you can train for a dream career at a free open house hosted by Oakton Community College on Thursday, December 5. Stop by Oakton’s state-of-the-art nanotechnology lab at Skokie’s Illinois Science + Technology Park (IS+TP), 8045 Lamon Avenue from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
On the cutting edge of science, nanotechnology plays a critical role in biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and physics – from building microprocessors and delivering anti-cancer drugs efficiently to making clothes more stain resistant and improving sunscreen absorption.
Explore this exciting field and learn more about the College’s nanotechnology courses. In addition, tour the lab, which features atomic force, scanning electron, and fluorescence microscopes. Refreshments will be served.
