行動拖車將核科學課程帶給學生
Mobile Trailer Brings Nuclear Science Lessons to Students
愛達荷國家實驗室(INL)正透過創新的「核科學拖車」將科學帶入各地。
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is taking science on the road with its innovative Nuclear Science Trailer.
這輛29英呎的移動實驗室是推廣STEM教育的重要工具，旨在將複雜的物理概念直接傳達給鄉村和城市的學生。
This 29-foot mobile lab is a key tool for STEM outreach, designed to bring complex physics concepts directly to students in rural and urban communities alike.
透過提供動手實作的體驗，拖車讓如核能燃料循環等抽象主題變得具體且引人入勝。
By offering hands-on experiences, the trailer makes abstract topics like the nuclear energy fuel cycle tangible and engaging.
在拖車內，學生可以使用蓋格計數器測量日常物品中的輻射，練習使用高科技手套箱，或透過虛擬實境(VR)技術虛擬參觀運作中的反應爐。
Inside, students can use Geiger counters to measure radiation in common objects, practice using high-tech glove boxes, or take a virtual tour of an operating reactor through VR technology.
該計畫由巴特爾能源聯盟代表能源部管理，其內容遠超出簡單的示範。
Managed by the Battelle Energy Alliance for the Department of Energy, the program goes beyond simple demonstrations.
透過揭開核能的神秘面紗，這輛拖車有助於培養未來的科學家和工程師梯隊，證明了有時激勵年輕心靈最好的方式，就是把實驗室直接帶到他們的家門口。
By demystifying nuclear energy, the trailer helps develop a future pipeline of scientists and engineers, proving that sometimes the best way to inspire a young mind is to bring the laboratory right to their front door.
