Twice a year, the PSFC invites schools from around Massachusetts to a spend a day at the PSFC, giving students a taste of what plasma and fusion research is all about.
Through tours, talks and demonstrations, attendees learn about plasmas, their behavior, and their role in harnessing fusion energy. Students will have the opportunity to see how plasmas are confined, to perform hands-on demonstrations with electromagnetism, and to review the progress of MIT’s plasma experiments.
The next Outreach Day will be in the Spring of 2026.
