The Maryland Energy Innovation Institute and the Maryland Radiation Facilities are proud to partner with Constellation for an Energy Explorers Day. Energy Explorers is a clean energy initiative designed to expand access to and understanding of nuclear energy production and energy storage technology for high school students. The program builds on the university's long-standing research reactor tour by adding hands-on activities, college resources, and mentorship from undergraduate students. Participants experience the Maryland University Training Reactor, engage in structured labs such as battery assembly, and intereact with graduate students and faculty to learn about advanced reactors and energy storage technologies. The initiaitve also introduces students to BattConn, a professional resource for battery related careers.
