I worked with nuclear experts from NSquare’s Innovator’s Network to develop a unique engagement platform that introduces students, parents, and educators to nuclear topics like nonproliferation, disarmament, and arms control. NEW+CLEAR gives young people agency over what they learn and how they learn. It enables them to explore nuclear issues in their own way, whether through art, poetry, or science. Once on the platform, they can design their own experience, choosing from a range of immersive, hands-on educational opportunities (like activity boxes) or following links to learn more about internships and fellowships.




NEW+CLEAR aims to create sustained impact on nuclear risk reduction through curated, accessible educational content for the rising generation.
