Streamed live on May 19, 2023

Teams of high school students with a teacher leader and UCLA graduate student mentor are invited annually to create cutting-edge nanotechnology business proposals informed by their own research and by a series of workshops coordinated by the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI).  This contest, the 2023 CNSI Nanovation Competition at UCLA, was established by Environmental Research Advocates CEO Denise Avchen, and is still actively funded by ERA.  The teams are given the opportunity to apply their learning to create feasible technology designs, offering them valuable training and experience in the technology innovation process.  The top 3 winning teams of 2023 were selected by a jury of UCLA professors and LA business professionals, and were awarded science classroom supplies!
