Nuclear Innovation Institute

As we look to the skies in the coming week for May’s #SuperMoon, remote learning students in Cobourg, home to NII Founding Member Cameco Ontario, will have their eyes on Mars while thinking back on their winning (virtual) mission to the red planet. I love science and I’m considering a career in engineering, said Michael James, a Grade 11 student at the Virtual Learning Centre, a remote secondary school for students across Ontario. So this was an opportunity where I could practise some of those skills and come up with a lot of these ideas to help make the fundamentals possible. https://www.northumberlandnews.com//10394009-cobourg-stud/

With this most unusual school year coming to an end, NII Explore’s Science in the Classroom programming is bringing the Ontario science curriculum to 5,000+ eager students across the region. #STEMeducation https://www.nuclearinnovationinstitute.ca//nii-explore-del

Here comes the sun! With the weather warming up, it’s finally warm enough to make some solar ovens. Bonus: You can kick back and snack on some delicious chocolate with your children/students Hop over to @niiexplore on Instagram to try it out yourself! https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-hoSfFVRv/
