Public science programs
Through science programs and festivals, FRIB provides community members opportunities to engage with science, discover its wonders, and be inspired to pursue careers in science.
FRIB offers learning resources for K–12 teachers and students from public, homeschool, private, and parochial schools, designed to inspire curiosity and support hands-on learning.
FRIB engages in several science-focused activities, including GUPPY, 4-H Exploration Days, and Grandparents University, to captivate young learners and promote careers in nuclear science.
FRIB engages in several initiatives, such as the Physics of Atomic Nuclei (PAN) and Physicists Inspiring the Next Generation (PING) programs, to inspire high school students to consider nuclear science as a focus for their undergraduate studies.
FRIB provides a wide range of learning resources that help teachers incorporate nuclear science elements into their curriculum and inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators.
