Education Outreach Programs

The United States Department of Energy Savannah River Operations Office (DOE-SR) provides a variety of science and literacy outreach programs at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by funding and coordinating the efforts of several organizations. These organizations include the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL), US Forestry Service- Savannah River, and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS). The primary goals of these outreach programs are to enhance interest in science, mathematics, engineering and technology and to support improvements in education in the Central Savannah River Area by using the unique resources available at the Site. We believe business, industry, government and the education community must work together as partners to improve the educational opportunities for all students in our region.

The SRNS Education Outreach team. Cynthia Hewitt, Taylor Rice and Rebekah Trull.

STEM That Travels Program

You are invited to request SRS STEM experts for your next event! These experts explain STEM concepts, conduct STEM demonstrations, mentor, judge, and offer career information for teachers and students, bringing science to life in K-12th grade classrooms.

Discover Engineering

Middle school educators can request an SRNS engineer to visit their classroom and speak to students about the exciting opportunities within engineering fields and conduct hands-on activities demonstrating how engineers impact our world.

STEM Pals

STEM Pals is a way for your students to engage with a real engineer, scientist, IT professional, etc. As a class or organization, your students can write a letter or list of questions about STEM careers or STEM topics to your very own expert! The possibilities are endless!

STEM Like a Girl

STEM Like a Girl is a special event for 8th grade girls to interact with women engineers and IT professionals from the Savannah River Site.
