In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, learners will build a model of a nebula using cotton balls and colored water. Astronomers photograph nebulas and add colors to provide information about the nebula's composition.
