Fusion Energy Educational Outreach

The Fusion Educational Outreach Program offers a variety of opportunities for middle school and high school students and their teachers to experience hands-on activities and demonstrations relating to plasma science (the science of hot, ionized gases) and fusion energy.

These activities include:

• A 3-week summer course for high school students as part of the Academic Connections program "From Neon Lights to Nuclear Fusion". See the Academic Connections web site.
• Tours of PISCES and other fusion research facilities on the UCSD campus
• Visits to area schools ("scientist in the classroom"), and booths at fairs and expos in San Diego and nationally.
