Student Activities

The NRC supports student-focused events such as science fairs and educational programs encouraging and honoring aspiring scientists who may one day make valuable contributions in the nuclear field. These events, under the NRC & Your Community program, focus on the people and the everyday dedication and commitment of NRC employees. They help our community and potentially enhance our future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.  

Watch these presentations to learn more about STEM students.
