正文(英文) | ![]() High schooler Joy from St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland won for “Heliora.”
A solar-powered, fast-charging, high-flying hero named Heliora! A sweet nanoparticle solution that defeats the sugar-blasting nemesis Glycosa! A peppy polymer that transforms into a cell-size, chain-welding hero to battle an antibiotic resistant superbug! The National Science Foundation (NSF), in partnership with the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), recognized these new science-powered superheroes and more by naming them as the first- and second-place winners and honorable mention for the Generation Nano competition. Generation Nano challenges middle and high school students to imagine novel superheroes who use the power of science and technology to solve crimes or tackle societal challenges. Students tell their hero's story in a short comic or video. Experts judge the entries based on the submitter's use of science and technology, creativity and artistic or technical quality. This is the first year that middle school students were invited to participate in Generation Nano. High school winners
Middle school winners
Each first-place winner will attend the 2018 USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C., April 6-8, 2018. This event is the largest of its kind and the only national science festival. The festival features speeches by inspirational scientists, exhibits from some of the biggest names in STEM, and interactive and informative demonstrations. The winners will each exhibit their superhero and their science-inspired powers at NSF's festival pavilion. Generation Nano also recognized two teachers this year for playing pivotal roles in mentoring young STEM artists.
A panel of judges with expertise in either nanotechnology or comics evaluated each entry and selected semifinalists and finalists. The judges
