Sebastian, V. (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Gimenez, M. (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: One of the challenges for Nanotechnology is education, which is considered as a bottleneck for Nanotechnology development and implementation. This work contributes to nanoscale education by designing a wide variety of cutting-edge documentaries which assist high-educational level students in learning the underlying concepts of Nanoscience, the last advances and furure prospects. In addition, documentaries seek to bring and disseminate the scientific activity of Nanotechnology to society. In this sense, the secondary goals of the proposed approach nanotech activity are: 1) Transfer of knowledge generated in the nanotechnology field and 2) The promotion of scientific culture and innovation between the public objectives. Based on the results observed in students's assessment and You Tube metrics, it was concluded that the developed of nanoscale based documentaries enabled a fast and efficent comprehension of complex concepts related to Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. In addition, the opinion of You Tube audience is highly promising and shows that You Tube and documentaries are an excellent channel to disseminate Nanoscience to society.
