    • Chicano Park is the crown jewel of this predominately Latino community anda celebrated national destination for its rich display of art and culture. The tour will begin with an overview of historical Chicano Park, the Monumental Murals and include expressions of lowriding and their connections between art, science and engineering. Today 79+ historic murals grace the soaring pillars of the San Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge that dissect the neighborhood, giving way to a canvas that amounts to nothing short of an outdoor open-air museum. The park — recently named a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places — is an iconic destination where visitors can explore Chicano art, history, and culture is one of the largest collections of Chicano public art murals in the world. The tour is ADA accessible. A Taquero will be onsite to purchase lunch

    • Type: Event
    • TDIII-D Tokamak, the largest magnetic confinement fusion device in the U.S. provides research results to the world-wide fusion community to advance fusion science and technology. DIII-D is operated by General Atomics for the Department of Energy. During this tour, you will engage in a presentation on plasma and magnetic field interactions, diagnostics used to measure plasma characteristics and the path being used toward the building of ITER - the largest fusion device ever built. Demonstrations will include plasma, magnetic field producing coils, plasma and magnetic field interactions, a cloud chamber to visualize radioactivity, and more. There will be a walking tour of the facility to see the DIII-D Tokamak and its peripheral equipment, a full scale cross sectional model of the machine, control room, power supply areas, and a set of gyrotrons (microwave generators) that are used to put MWs of power into the plasma. Facilitators will discuss how middle and high school teachers and college professors can weave plasma/fusion concepts into their instruction on topics they are already teaching. Attendees MUST wear closed toe shoes and photos are allowed. Due to residual magnetic fields that exist where DIII-D resides, attendees with pacemakers are prohibited from visiting certain parts of the tour.
