The Fusion Division of the Center for Energy Research at the University of California, San Diego hosted a 3-week long, in-residence plasma science class entitled ``Radiant Plasmas: from Neon Lights to Nuclear Fusion" during July 2002 as part of the Academic Connections program at UCSD. The class consisted of 3 girls and 6 boys (4 seniors, 4 juniors, and 1 sophomore) from across the US and had a wide range of educational experience since the only prerequisite was a course in Algebra. The students were exposed to a number of hands-on activities developed by CPEP and supplemented with activities that drew on the local strengths of the PISCES program, the Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, and the GA Fusion Education Project. We will discuss the specifics of the student's activities, the relative effectiveness of each, and some ideas for developing this prototype class into an offering for a more general high school audience.
