Proud papa Luis
Mavilla writes that his 13-year-old son, Peter Alexander Mavilla, has
caught a bad case of the nanobug. When the Venezuelan youth decided
that nanotechnology was just so cool that he had to learn more, the
first thing he did was register as a free online member
of that notorious purveyor of childhood
nanofear, the Foresight
Institute.
Peter is developing a project on basic nanotechnology concepts to be
presented at the next science fair at his school and at a youth science
fair promoted by
AsoVAC, the Venezuelan
Association for the Advancement of Science.
Peter's a science fair veteran. In 2003, he won first prize at the
AsoVAC Festival for a cake that is able to provide one-third of the
daily nutritional requirements
for kids between 11 and 15 years old.
Sounds to me that when it comes to assuring Venezuela's future in
nanoscience, Peter takes the cake.
