Division/Committee: [CHED] Division of Chemical Education

This symposium will provide a unique forum to exchange ideas on innovative approaches to the design, funding, delivery and assessment of chemistry outreach education, service learning, environmental justice programs, and equity-minded practices. Effective outreach programs increase exposure and interest in chemistry for students at the K-12 levels and the general public, while hands-on experiences and project-based learning allow teachers to make real-world connections and enhance the appreciation for how chemistry impacts our world. Speakers from all sectors of the chemistry community are invited, including 2- and 4-year faculty, high school educators, current and former NSF GK-12 awardees, students at the undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral levels, and industry professionals. A broad variety of topic areas in the past have included college and high school programs and courses, green chemistry, hands-on activities and project-based learning, family science programs, professional development programs for high school educators, participatory action research, partnerships with industry, and program assessment.
