Introducing the Nuclear Literacy Project
The Nuclear Literacy Project is a new website and outreach initiative geared toward reaching young, non-technical audiences with information about nuclear energy. You can check out the site at http://www.nuclearliteracy.org/.
The nonprofit organization PopAtomic Studios has teamed with a committee of nuclear communications and technical experts, as well as Atomic Insights, American Crane, and StratusFX, to develop an innovative and effective approach to energy education.
The website is just the beginning. We are also working to create new apps, games, and quizzes to reach young people through venues that they already know and enjoy using. You want to learn 10 important facts about nuclear energy in about 1 minute? No problem! Just check out our Fast Facts page. Want to test your nuclear knowledge on your smart phone? Try one of our Quizzes.
We are also very excited to offer a first hand look into the lives of young nuclear engineers through our "Nuclear All Stars" blog. Click on the picture to read about Anagha, a California girl who is headed to the southeast to pursue her education in nuclear engineering and make the world a better place.
We invite you to visit the new website and to get involved. You can support this effort in many ways:
- Share this article with friends and colleagues.
- Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.
- Make a tax-deductible donation to the Nuclear Literacy Project.
- Ask your company or organization to make an annual contribution to NLP.
