Resumen:
Exploratory studies show that the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) are still quite unknown for children and adolescents in Brazil and Argentina. There are several challenges on how to communicate and educate about N&N. Science centers and museums appear as a good alternative for this task, representing a good opportunity for life-long learning. Here we briefly present the experience of an exhibition called NanoAventura which was developed in Brazil by the Museu Exploratório de Ciências from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP).
