Dear Parents,
Our children are our Nation's most valuable asset. They represent the bright future of our country and hold our hopes for a better world. Their education must be one of our leading priorities; to open these growing minds to the endless possibilities that lay before them and to teach them to make the best use of their talents. We are living in changing times, where fast technological and scientific advancements are changing the landscape of our physical and social world. In order to keep up with the pace of these technologies, our youth need to have early exposure to these new ideas, to provide them the skills necessary to excel in higher education and the real world.
Your son/daughter has therefore been invited to take part in an exciting hands-on, minds-on program that teaches how inquiry, teamwork and creativity can solve a problem. The in2nano program seeks to excite and enlighten Egyptian high school students about the coming industrial revolution which will change the world they (and we) live in forever. in2nano will show students the real-world relevance of these transformative technologies in their daily lives. The program combines excitement, cooperative learning, advice from experts, and other participatory activities to help your children stay ahead of the game and be prepared for their next steps into university and the workforce.
The educational benefits of this program go far beyond simply introducing new technologies and scientific literacy. The benefits are wide ranging and include:
- promoting inquiry skills and understanding (including the ability to recognize good questions)
- increasing global awareness: financial, economic, and business literacy
- increasing health and wellness awareness
- developing creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills
- developing information and media literacy skills
- developing ethical and social responsibility
- emphasizing personal productivity and the need for adaptability
- promoting an inclination towards life-long learning
We encourage you to get involved and make the most out of your child's experience of in2nano and look forward to your arrival at the in2nano FunDay. Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions or comments, your valued input is a key factor to the success of your child's educational experience.
Sincerely,
The in2nano Team
