1st African American-Built Reactor
Donation protected
Hi! I'm Steven Udotong, a Junior at Cinnaminson High School and I am currently building a nuclear fusor. If I am successful, I will be the first African American student to have accomplished this feat.
My Project
My objective is to build a nuclear reactor in my home that I can use to advocate clean energy use for my community and nation. I have already made immense progress on this, but I hit a roadblock because I need a few more materials to completely finish my reactor.
Nuclear energy shows great promise to drastically reduce our greenhouse emissions and I want to be able demonstrate the potential of this energy in our society and encourage investment into energy sustainability. We only have one Earth and I strongly believe it is important that we maintain it for all future generations as best as we can.
Who Am I
My name is Steven Udotong and I am a junior at Cinnaminson High School in small suburban New Jersey town.
Last summer I was accepted into the Yale Young Global Scholars Program where I worked in an engineering workshop in Singapore.
Who Am I (continued)
I’m one of five boys from a first generation Nigerian-American with a single mother. My older brothers attend Harvard, MIT, and Princeton.
I decided to take initiative to build my own nuclear reactor, showing this energy is not scary, and is more accessible than people believe. Hopefully, I can encourage others to continue taking steps towards taking more active political and economic positions to invest in energy sustainability.
Thank you for your support!
