08:45	Six working groups organized by the stages of education: K-12, CC/TC, University/College (BS, MS), Graduate (PhD), Continuing, and ISE Questions to be addressed in each working group are: What is the state of art in NSE education? What are the high-priority NSE education challenges/opportunities? What are the NSE resources available to assist in the education process? How best facilitate NSE education resource scale-up? What stakeholder involvement is needed for that scale-up? How might convergence of nano-, bio-, info-, cogno-technologies be incorporated quickly in education curricula How best use NSE to attract underrepresented populations to STEM? What are the top (actionable) recommendations that address the items above.
