On July 9th, we had the pleasure of hosting the Nuclear and AI Outreach and K12 Education Workshop. The event showcased the great work of Ms. Marchan Jackson, who presented an educational module aimed at middle school students (grades 6-8). This innovative module, designed to introduce young learners to the field of nuclear engineering, will be available on Canvas and has the potential to be adopted by numerous other schools, nurturing future generations of engineers and nuclear specialists.
The workshop also featured a series of insightful presentations from our esteemed colleagues, each highlighting their cutting-edge research in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence, and nuclear technology. Sungmin Kim and Youndo Do shared the overview robotics project and demonstrated quadruped simulation in our digital twin. Stephen Yoo discussed the intricacies of Molten Salt Reactors (MSR), offering a comprehensive overview of this promising nuclear technology. The event underscored the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the pivotal role of education in shaping the future of technology and engineering. The enthusiastic participation and engagement of all attendees made the workshop a truly memorable and impactful experience.
We look forward to continuing our efforts in educational outreach and fostering a deeper understanding of nuclear engineering and advanced technologies among young students.
