Back from break!

The NWNC has a lot going on at the moment. We're in the middle of the science fair crunch and could have five science fair teams this year! The multimedia effort is also moving forward full steam.

Double update on the NWNC planning page.

Good luck on finals, everyone!

Yet another weekly update! Check the planning page of nwnc.us.com for details.

Don't forget: next Friday is NWNC's annual holiday party!
Food, games and white elephant gifts. Please keep your gifts STEM themed and under ten dollars!

Happy Holidays!

We're back from Thanksgiving hiatus! This week featured a beautiful new user interface for the reactor automation courtesy of Gordon Bock and an exciting new challenge for the reactor team: who can come up with the most creative ideas for presenting nuclear concepts to other high school students? This challenge is a precursor to our upcoming endeavors in media and educational film.

UPDATE:

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! NWNC will resume December 5th.

Let's take a moment to remember Mr. Gary Troyer, a valuable member of the nuclear community and the driving force behind the Seattle sector of the ANS, who died recently in a tragic traffic accident.

Coming soon: NWNC is expanding to include a Multimedia team. Boasting HD robotic cameras and a state of the art recording and editing system, the Multimedia team will be key in publicizing NWNC and spreading our message to the masses.

Two claims that practical power from nuclear fusion is nearly here have been made in the past week. While one is a lot more credible than the other, it remains hard to tell hype from reality.
