09/07/2024

The RITVERC team attended the Future in the Present Russian National Student Plenum as an industrial partner. The plenum was organized in conjunction with the XIV St. Petersburg International Educational Forum, which took place on March 26-27 at secondary school No. 619 in St. Petersburg. We conducted a session for high school students using the RadLab training kit for the practical study of radioactivity. The youngsters built their own cloud chambers to study alpha particle tracks and learn about the use of radioactivity in industry, research, and medicine. The Plenum also hosted meetings with Russian school teachers to discuss the feasibility of incorporating practical radiation studies into school curricula.
