South Aiken High School
students experience SRS enviromental research with the Science & Technology Enrichment Program (STEP)
The United States Department of Energy Savannah
River Operations Office (DOE-SR) provides a variety of science and
literacy outreach programs at the Savannah River Site (SRS) by funding
and coordinating the efforts of several organizations. These organizations include the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL), US Forestry Service- Savannah River, and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC (SRNS). The primary goals of these outreach programs
are to enhance interest in science, mathematics, engineering
and technology and to support improvements in education in
the Central Savannah River Area by using the unique resources
available at the Site. We believe business, industry,
government and the education community must work together
as partners to improve the educational opportunities for all
students in our region.
• Hands-on programs for precollege students
and teachers;
• Work-based learning opportunities for
technical college students; and
• Various workshops, tours, lectures and
demonstrations that promote science, mathematics, engineering
and technology.
