Students gain practical experience with a NuScale SMR simulator and virtual reality tours, culminating in a poster presentation to industry professionals.
The GMU Constellation SMR Summer Academy is a five-day in-person program designed for rising 10th-12th graders interested in nuclear energy and its role in future clean energy systems. Through hands-on activities, interactive lectures, and simulation-based learning, students explore advanced nuclear technologies and real-world applications. Participants engage with the NuScale SMR simulator at George Mason's E2 Center, build Lego-based SMR applications, and take virtual reality tours of nuclear power plants and renewable energy facilities. The camp culminates in a poster presentation competition where students present their work to industry professionals, gaining tangible skills and insights into educational and career opportunities in the energy industry. The program aims to empower students to become impactful and trustworthy citizens in the field of sustainable energy.
A typical day involves hands-on activities, interactive lectures, and simulation-based learning, culminating in a poster presentation competition at the end of the week.
This camp is ideal for high school students (rising 10th-12th graders) curious about nuclear energy, clean energy systems, and advanced nuclear technologies, who enjoy hands-on learning and real-world applications.
