Session Chair:
Uchenna Ezibe (Senior Manager, STEM Programs)
The ANS Nuclear Ambassador program equips individuals in the nuclear industry to conduct nuclear science education and outreach in classrooms, public events and conferences, informal learning settings like afterschool and summer programs, and other environments where youth can receive STEM enrichment. The program also provides individuals with presentations, STEM kits, activities, and a variety of virtual and physical resources to enhance their outreach efforts. Join this session to receive a shortened version of our training and learn how to share the world of nuclear science and technology with students in your community and beyond.
