Lego2Nano Summer School

The Institute of Making and the London Centre for Nanotechnology have teamed up with Tsinghua University and Peking University to take on the challenge of developing a new type of low-cost scanning probe microscope with the power to capture images of the nano world.

LEGO2NANO is an international student project making real science accessible to young people, by developing low cost scientific equipment for schools and beyond.

 

Over the last three years of the summer school in Beijing, international and interdisciplinary teams of university students have developed their Open AFM—an open-source atomic force microscope assembled from cheap, off-the-shelf electronic components, Arduino, Lego and 3D printable /laser cut parts.
