America’s Navy is committed to inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.
Chief Electrician’s Mate (Nuclear) Zachary Fietek visited Lewis S. Mills High School to give a nuclear power presentation and help facilitate a hands-on lesson from America’s Navy. “Bringing Nuclear Fission to Light” focused on nuclear science and energy concepts. Students learned about the chain reaction that powers submarines and aircraft carriers. Using Lite-Brite boards, students modeled how splitting a single atom releases massive energy.
