CLE AIChE Joins CLE ACS for National Chemistry Week on October 21 at Strongsville Library

The National Chemistry Week (NCW) program of the Cleveland Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) began in 1994 with an idea to put together a scripted program that could be performed at any local school or library It is a fun and educational program designed to interest students in grades 2-6 in chemistry and science. This idea has expanded to become the centerpiece of the Cleveland Section's activities. On numerous occasions it has received national recognition from the American Chemical Society, including several ChemLuminary Awards the last of which was in 2012. In 2023 the Cleveland Section's volunteers will perform at least 10 demonstrations at libraries, schools, and other piublic sites involving up to 250 students. This years theme will be "The Healing Power of Chemistry" with 6 hands-on experiments.
