"The Minister for Education, Julia Gillard, will today (28/11/08) in Melbourne launch an innovative secondary school resource that will assist science teachers to teach nanotechnology in Australian schools.
AccessNano, a cutting-edge educational resource, is designed to introduce accessible and innovative science and technology into classrooms, and provide an integrated approach to teaching nanotechnolgy.
The Australian Office of Nanotechnology developed AccessNano following feedback from science teachers that children were asking to be taught about nanotechnology, but many teachers did not have the knowledge or resources to be able to teach the topic."
