Abstract: Due to the explosion of nanotechnology, there is a necessity to update school science curricula by integrating nanotechnology-related concepts to students. This research aims to develop the Hi Nano application as an Education Kit or learning tool to increase knowledge about nanotechnology and cancer treatment. This research was a mix-method design and lead by the three research aims. First, we asked teachers to complete a questionnaire related to the nanotechnology. This initial analysis shows that technology as a learning media is greatly needed to increase student nanotechnology knowledge. Second, the Hi Nano mobile app validation tests were carried out with the experts. Third, the evaluation of this research has resulted in Hi Nano application being developed in the effective category. The results of this research can be used by teachers to increase students' understanding about nanotechnology as a more effective optimal learning process.

Keywords: nanotechnology; Hi Nano mobile apps; cancer treatment learning.
