study and university life. <strong>The</strong>y were able to quickly grasp ideas and liken them to Sci-Fi movies<br />
and also asked about the possibilities of current scientific advances.<br />
Teachers commented that the presentation was very interesting to them also and that it<br />
was very helpful to have input from a young person with examples of fresh <strong>Australian</strong> scientific<br />
achievements. It was mentioned that visits will be highly helpful for students unsure about their<br />
future studies/careers and will inspire year 12s to do their best.<br />
Overall I found the experience to be enjoyable and fulfilling. Presentations were well<br />
received by students and teachers alike and were beneficial to my presentation skills and<br />
promoting science to younger generations.<br />
I would like to thank the ARCNN for the opportunity to participate in the young nanotechnology<br />
ambassador program and I hope others who experience it continue to promote science and<br />
scientific careers.<br />
