The Atomic Energy Education Society is a network of schools operated by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for employees’ children. Their primary mission is to provide quality education and nurture young talent. At present, AEES operates 30 schools and junior colleges throughout Pakistan.
Educating Students About Nuclear Science and Technology
At a time when we urgently need skilled personnel to address global challenges such as energy security, climate change and sustainability, the Fedoruk Centre strives to train a new generation of nuclear research, development and training experts. We offer various opportunities such as National Nuclear Science Week and public events that showcase all the ways nuclear science contributes to our nation.
Our mission is to preserve and present the history of nuclear science, to showcase our diversity, and educate a global audience about its role in shaping America’s cultural and technological identity. We aim to inform the public, inspire new generations of nuclear scientists, engineers, innovators, policy makers and citizens who will help shape our world for better tomorrow.
We are thrilled to be a sponsor of National Nuclear Science Week, an annual celebration of how essential nuclear science and technology are in our everyday lives. Starting on January 23, there will be various events throughout the week that illustrate both their current applications as well as how they will continue to shape our futures.
This year’s theme is “Nuclear Energy for a Cleaner Future,” and to mark this special event, scientists will report on their progress and share their vision of how their work could bring about social and economic benefits. During this special event, project leaders will update us on their activities while honoring the 80th anniversary of the Fermi Pile experiment which demonstrated that an atomic chain reaction could be self-sustaining.
At this year’s event, ANS President Eric Loewen will provide an interactive presentation to high school students about nuclear careers and provide tips on securing a start in nuclear science and technology, applying for scholarships, and exploring available opportunities.
It is essential for students who aspire to become scientists to have an excellent foundation in mathematics and science. The best preparation for a career in nuclear energy begins during elementary school; further learning about these subjects should continue throughout high school.
Students should study the fundamentals of chemistry and physics throughout high school, as well as learn how to use scientific calculators and other tools for research. Furthermore, they should become acquainted with electricity and magnetism’s principles. This preparation will give them the assurance and expertise needed to succeed in their chosen field upon graduation.
