Are you ready??!! It's time for the Annual NA-YGN Drawing Contest!!

It is the time of the year when all of you, NA-YGN members and alumni, visit local schools, and talk to the kids about the many ways in which nuclear science and technology make our lives better. Then, ask the students to make a drawing inspired by the presentation, and collect them. Don't worry about anything...
