radio we're active

In spring 2017 the 4c of BG/BRG Klosterneuburg is working on a school project about radioactivity. Accompanying teachers are Hemma Poledna (history) and Markus Gruber (physics).

The students are working out presentations on various topics concerning radioactivity and mankind's handling especially focusing on nuclear weapons. Students will further explain the importance of banning nuclear weapons and present what international organizations located in Vienna like CTBTO, IAEA or ICAN are doing via videos or sway-presentations. The sways are compiled on the project website https://rwa-4c.jimdo.com/ .
