Over 1,000 students ‘Discover Engineering' with engineers at SRNS
AIKEN, S.C. (WJBF) – Engineers from Savannah River Nuclear Solutions visited 1,400 students in the CSRA as part of its 'Discover Engineering' week this month.
Held this year from Feb. 3-7, the program aims to explain to local students how engineering impacts the world from the perspective of engineers at Savannah River Site (SRS).
'This is a major opportunity to expose students to the world of engineering,' said Taylor Rice, SRNS Education Outreach Specialist. 'Our partnerships with local schools continue to spark interest in crucial scientific and technical careers, supporting a growing and viable workforce at SRS.'
'Our students often lack exposure to higher-level opportunities and careers that are available close to home,' said Glenn Hills Science Instructor Tama Clarke. 'The job opportunities and education are here—they don't have to leave the CSRA to have an amazing, well-paid job. Seeing SRNS volunteers has opened their eyes to what is achievable.'
Since 2008, the program has reached more than 30,000 students in the area.
