  We report the development of a user-friendly nano-visualization software
program which can acquaint high-school students with nanotechnology. The visual
introduction to atoms and molecules, which are the building blocks of this
technology, is an effective way to introduce the key concepts in this area. The
software's graphical user interface enables multidimensional atomic
visualization by using ball and stick schematics. Additionally, the software
provides the option of wavefunction visualization for arbitrary nanomaterials
and nanostructures by using extended Huckel theory. The software is
instructive, application oriented and may be useful not only in high school
education but also for the undergraduate research and teaching.
