The Fastest Path to Zero Initiative supported the program by integrating a focus on equitable and sustainable energy solutions, encouraging participants to consider how nuclear technology can be leveraged to meet global clean energy goals.
Last month, the University of Michigan, in collaboration with the Fastest Path to Zero Initiative, welcomed rising high school seniors to the Harper Academy 4 Future Nuclear Engineers. This four-week residential program, designed to inspire and prepare students from diverse backgrounds, offered a blend of academic and practical experiences, equipping them with the skills needed to pursue nuclear engineering in college and beyond.
Through a curriculum that included nuclear engineering fundamentals, math and technical skills, design thinking, community engagement, and college preparatory seminars, students immersed themselves in the world of nuclear energy. The Fastest Path to Zero Initiative supported the program by integrating a focus on equitable and sustainable energy solutions, encouraging participants to consider how nuclear technology can be leveraged to meet global clean energy goals.
