An Overview of DPP's Education and Outreach Effort

For more than 25 years, members of the American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics (DPP) have offered free plasma physics outreach to teachers and students at the location of the annual DPP meeting. This effort features two on-site events. Teachers Day is a day of workshops for secondary teachers. Each teacher attends ``Plasma 101'' and two more workshops based on interest. Plasma physics is presented not as a new topic to add, but rather a hook by which teachers can enhance topics they already teach. With the Plasma Sciences Expo, we offer a variety of interactive plasma and general science exhibits to busloads of local students. Learn more about our time-tested approach to outreach at this poster, and consider joining the team for next year's events in Milwaukee.
