The Sci | Art NanoLab is a highly competitive summer program for high school juniors and seniors interested in collaborating with diverse and notable minds to challenge traditional, polarized perspectives of the arts and sciences. Throughout the 2-week intensive program, students will make connections between cutting edge scientific research, popular culture and contemporary arts. Lab visits, workshops, hands-on experiments, and meetings with world-renowned scientists will be balanced with visits to museums, daily movie screenings and meetings with famous contemporary artists who collaborate with scientists. Small groups of students are taught by a scientist / artist team with frequent visits from faculty in a wide range of disciplines.
Sponsored by UCLA's ART|SCI Center, Department of Design | Media Arts and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), the Sci|Art Nanolab focuses on multi-disciplinary collaborations exploring the possibilities and implications of scientific and technological innovation.
