OUR CURRENT PROGRAMS
NII Explore is a program dedicated to delivering enhanced educational opportunities for school-aged children to learn, experiment, discover and create.
NII Explore supports inclusive, accessible programming and initiatives across multiple platforms and various streams of knowledge. This includes science, technology, engineering and math as well as nuclear-related learning. It also incorporates elements of design and entrepreneurship, conservation and storytelling.
NII Explore delivers through online classes, hands-on workshops and exhibits, experiential learning, and collective projects that connect NII’s explorers to engaging, high-quality teaching and knowledge.
NII Explore is targeted primarily at students living in, or in close proximity to, the Grey, Bruce, Huron region and local indigenous communities. The program can also be extended to deliver innovative learning opportunities provincially or nationally.
NII Explore stimulates people to push boundaries, embrace new knowledge and experiences, and to acquire the tools that enable positive change in their communities and the world.
