Hi
Here in Brazil we have developed an exhibition called "NanoAdventure" 
(NanoAventura). The project aims to transform the nanoworld basic notions, 
such as atoms, molecules, chemical bonds, and their connection with 
macroscopic and microscopic properties, more intuitive to the students and 
to the audience that are in daily contact with these concepts in their 
life, even though they don’t know about it. To achieve the abovementioned 
purposes, the project was conceived as an interactive exhibition. The main 
notions of nanoscience and nanotechnology are presented in a set of games 
that attracts, teaches, and stimulates future learning experiences. During 
the design phase of the project there was a strong concerning to create an 
interactive way to present the content, which lead to development of 
hardware, software and scenographic environment alluding true 
nanotechnology laboratorial activities. 
The exhibition is running rather well, and its  homepage is 
http://www.nanoaventura.org.br, but unfortunately is all in Portuguese. I 
will be happy to provide more information to those interested, and I would 
also appreciate receiving further material and links from projects in this 
field.
Best regards,
Marcelo Knobel
