ERAscience and California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA take great pride supporting the annual Nanovation Competition.

Top three finalists winners were announced May 18, 2024 and granted funds to support their schools' classroom supplies.

Ten finalist teams comprising middle and high school students, each guided by a teacher leader and UCLA graduate student mentors, created pioneering design and technology business concept proposals from Nanoscience teacher workshops.  A jury of UCLA professors and Los Angeles business professionals, including ERAscience CEO and founder of the annual Nanovation Competition Denise Avchen, awarded science classroom supplies to the students' affiliated schools.

The future of nanotechnology appears brighter than ever, thanks to the visionary strides made by these remarkable winners.
