The annual seminar on Teaching Nanoscience with Scanning Probe Microscopy (TeachNano 3) was held in the U.S. for the first time on March 28, 2007 in conjunction with the Spring ACS Meeting in Chicago, IL. Keeping in tradition with the two previous seminars which took place in Basel, Switzerland (2006) and Sapporo, Japan (2005), TeachNano 3 proved to be a valuable experience for all who attended.

The seminar included presentations by several professors and students from various universities and colleges across the US and Canada. Topics included: Teaching Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Improving Nanoscience Education, Keeping Curricula Current: Nanoscience Activities for Secondary Schools, Development of Nanotechnology Lab Courses, Combining SPM with Other Techniques, as well as overviews of several lab experiments covering Single-Molecule Conductance, Production of Carbon Nanotubes, Synthesis of Nanoparticles, and more.

A few post seminar comments from attendees included:
- "...the seminar was excellent - the best of the ACS convention."
- "...well organized and the speakers were very interesting."

Following the informative talks, hands-on product demonstrations, and interactive coffee/food breaks, a drawing was held for a free Nanosurf easyScan 2 STM system. Ola Modinger from Nanosurf presented Prof. Kurt Winkelmann (Florida Institute of Technology) with the prize.
