Girl Scouts Get to Know Nuclear
ANS is working alongside the radiation facilities at UMD, College Park, to host a badge workshop for girl scouts interested in nuclear science!
Along side undergraduates and faculty, students (grades 6-12) will be given the opportunity to take a reactor tour and participate in various activities on nuclear science, gaining their nuclear patch by the end!
Date: October 25th
Time: 9:00-11:00 AM ET
Optional reactor tours* that run from either 8:30-9:00 or 11:00-11:30
Location: University of Maryland, College Park, Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building
Students will participate in small and whole group activities related to nuclear fission and fusion, half life, Geiger counters and radiation detection, nuclear policy, and nuclear careers.
We can unfortunately only host 30 students for this event, so this will be FIRST COME FIRST SERVE. Any students that register after the max is reached will be put on the waitlist, and may be invited to attend. We encourage students to fill this out, even after capacity is met, so that we can contact you for future opportunities!
