Rock University High School, a public middle college located in Janesville, Wisconsin, has the honor to be one of the only schools in the midwest to be invited to the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies at Middlebury Institute Critical Issues Forum. Each year student participants from the United States, Russia, and Japan are asked to critically think and create a project that relates to and proves the current theme. They usually share these projects at the yearly forum held in Monterrey. Due to COVID-19, the conference was canceled; however, students from all over the world still finished their projects. 
  
The 2019-20 theme was "Toward a World Free of Nuclear Weapons: The role of Youth as Change Agents." For a portion of their project, RUHS decided to author and illustrate a graphic novel with the hope of using it to help educate younger generations within our school district (and maybe the nation, the world!?) 

Join Mr. Paz and his middle and high schoolers on a nuclear rush as they are transported through time to learn about the history of the atomic bomb and the United States' involvement in the atomic age.
