We are delighted to welcome schools to UKAEA for an inspiring full-day visit designed to give students a unique insight into the future of fusion energy.
During the visit, students will receive an introductory talk covering the basics of fusion energy. They will then take part in guided tours of two of our world-leading facilities: Joint European Torus (JET) and Remote Applications in Challenging Environments (RACE). These tours will be led by our engineers, scientists and technicians, offering students a genuine, behind-the-scenes look at cutting-edge research and technology.
In addition to the tours, students will take part in a range of engaging activities, including a career carousel session. This provides a valuable opportunity for students to speak directly with apprentices and graduates working at UKAEA, ask questions about their career journeys, and learn more about the different roles and experiences available.
Students are encouraged to bring their curiosity as they explore how we are developing fusion energy and discover the exciting careers that contribute to this ground-breaking work.
The standard school visit time is 10:00-15:00.
Please note we can accommodate a maximum of 40 students per visit. Also, anyone attending this event is require to wear closed toe shoes and a hard hat (a hard hat will be provided on the day).
Also, you are only allowed to book one slot per school.
