    Smart Charging Challenge

    Imagine: your friend is getting ready to head out for the day and their phone gives them a low battery charge warning. They only have ten minutes before they must leave. They have several charging cables to choose from, all different lengths--Which one should they choose? Is there an optimal length to charge your phone? How much can you increase the charge on your phone in 10 minutes? Are there any other factors at play? In this activity, you will measure how much your phone’s battery charges in 10 minutes. You will then submit your results to the Argonne Smart Charging Data Form. Your submission will be one data point within a larger experiment tested by students from all over! Your findings will help answer the questions above.

    Coat the Fuel Pellet Challenge

    Argonne scientists have discovered a new way to coat nuclear materials that are used to help create electricity in nuclear power stations. Nuclear reactors are devices for creating a nuclear chain reaction to generate electricity. Inside an operating nuclear reactor, the environment is extreme. Reactor components are exposed to a combination of intense radiation (energy that can be harmful) and heat as well as coolant. That's why, in order to operate reactors safely, scientists need to design their components with materials that can withstand these conditions. Inside nuclear reactors, the radioactive fuel provides the energy that is turned into electricity. Coating these components can help improve the operation and safety of nuclear reactors. Today, you will make your own coatings with materials from around your house.
