In this design challenge s tudents will design a nano-scale logo for a nanotech corporation, as newly hired members of the design team. The logo must be of a scale to fit on the nanochips produced by the company, and must therefore be configured from Buckeyballs (rough spheres of carbon), prisms from graphite sheets, and carbon nanotubes. They will need to know the volume taken up by their logo, as well as the surface area (as a measure of cost in terms of the amount of carbon needed to produce the logo). Students must communicate their design persuasively and quantitatively through a written report, graphics, and a group presentation.
