This past year, the Outreach department of the American Nuclear Society increased the number of workshops it sponsors to teach educators about nuclear science. During the 33 workshops held in 20 states, more than 650 teachers interacted with nuclear professionals to explore basic concepts, new experiments, and hands-on activities to share with their students. Considering that these educators teach an estimated 38,000 students each year, the long-range effect of these training sessions cannot be underestimated. ANS workshops are possible with the tremendous support from ANS members who volunteer their time and expertise. The cost of providing the workshops is underwritten by ANS along with a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology, ANS Local Sections, and industry-related companies. Providing Materials for Teachers and Students ANS Outreach's newsletter ReActions provides its 20,000 subscribers with articles on nuclear technology, classroom activities and upcoming events. ANS Outreach also publishes classroom guides and project materials that explain in grade-appropriate language the many uses of the atom and the vital role of nuclear technology. For students, ANS offers broad perspective on the many careers related to nuclear science. The Society also provides scholarship opportunities to students studying for careers in the field. |
