Outreach success in Scarborough

Posted

Fusion CDT members from several years engaged in outreach at the Scarborough Science & Engineering Week on the 11th and 12th of October 2022. Local students flocked to the Sundome every 15 minutes to watch introductory videos on fusion energy and participate in live Q&A sessions with CDT volunteers.

Outside of the Sundome, curious students turned to the staffed Fusion CDT booth where they could ask more in-depth questions, have a look at a Lego fusion reactor model and take a shot at operating a reactor themselves by playing Operation Tokamak. With hardly a moment of downtime at either the Sundome or booth, engagement with and enthusiasm for fusion energy was high.
