Plasma physics and fusion are for everyone, and we’re dedicated to providing inclusive educational opportunities for learners of any age.
Receive seminar schedules, event details (including Zoom links), and day-of reminders.
Bring your class to the PSFC! Our programming is geared towards curious younger learners. Title I schools may be eligible for financial assistance.
No, there’s no charge to visit us, and we do our best to accommodate the many visit requests we receive. We appreciate your understanding that the PSFC is a working lab and center for education, and sometimes things happen that will affect the availability of tours. Thanks for your kindness and flexibility!
Our Open Houses held each February and July are open to all (it’s first come, first serve though, and we cap them at 60 attendees).
For groups of 5 to 30 people, we usually hold weekly tours on Thursdays at 11 AM. Email info@psfc.mit.edu at least three weeks before the requested date to see if you may join. We reserve the right to cancel or not offer tours at our discretion.
Yes, absolutely! In fact we have an outreach program especially for students. If you are a Title I school, we can help make your visit cost neutral. Contact info@psfc.mit.edu to learn more.
Please contact info@psfc.mit.edu for more information.
For small groups, including families, reach out to info@psfc.mit.edu to see if you can join one of our weekly tours held on Thursday at 11 AM. It is extremely unlikely we will accommodate your request for a private tour at a time of your choosing.
You can’t. Unfortunately we aren’t able to accommodate every individual who requests a tour, especially with fewer than 3 weeks’ notice. Instead, we’d love to host you at one of our Open Houses held each February and July.
Nope. Our spin-off company, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, is based in Devens, MA, which is where SPARC is located. We’re proud to be CFS’s largest research partner, but we are not involved with scheduling visits to their facility. Reach out to Jennifer Ganten at CFS to learn more about the Devens site.
