Fusion/Astrophysics

The Fusion and Astrophysics Research Academy is designed to give teachers experience in promoting and conducting research using spectroscopy with students. Spectroscopy is important in a wide variety of fields such as fusion research, astrophysics, and atomic physics. Instruction will help teachers develop their understanding of the properties of electromagnetic radiation and how it is produced. Participants will see how scientists develop knowledge about inaccessible objects like the Sun and the interior of fusion reactors using a research grade spectrometer. These standards-based workshops and offered at a modest fee of $25 to participants. The fee covers morning hospitality and lunches.
