Futurescape City Tours in DC

Futurescape City Tours in DC

Background

What does the future hold for Washington DC? Which new technologies matter most for you and your community? How would you direct science and technology? Area citizens joined University of Maryland, Virginia Tech, and Arizona State University researchers in discovering nanotechnology and thinking about what it might mean for Washington DC. As science and technology progress, their voice is important in shaping new developments. They experienced nanotechnology through a guided walking tour of the city, talked with scientists and engineers, photographed the past, present, and future of the city and shared their opinions about desirable futures.
