About PAN
During PAN, participants engage in hands-on activities led by FRIB faculty, staff, and students, exploring atomic nuclei and their connections to astrophysics. PAN is sponsored by FRIB, which is a user facility for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science (DOE-SC), supporting the mission of the DOE-SC Office of Nuclear Physics.
PAN offers:
- Insight into research at a top rare-isotope laboratory.
- Introductions to astrophysics, precision measurement, and nuclear science.
- Opportunities to conduct nuclear physics experiments.
- Networking with researchers on diverse scientific questions.
- Exploration of various career opportunities in science.
- Experience of college life.
- Free room and board provided on campus, if needed.
Application instructions
A complete application requires submission of an application and two teacher recommendations. We use a Qualtrics survey to collect the information and send email notifications.
Eligibility: U.S. students who are currently at the high school level are eligible to apply.
"Learning with a group of peers interested in science the way I am was one of the best educational experiences I've had so far!"
"Fantastic all-around program. It's the best summer camp I've ever attended. It is a real treat to be around people who want to chat about math and science and who are smarter than I am. It is in some ways a small taste of college."
For questions or more information regarding PAN, please contact the FRIB Outreach Coordinator.
