Spring 2022
Comienza con un Sueño, “It Begins with a Dream” is a STEM fair hosted by UCSD each year. It is a bilingual event and an opportunity for middle and high school students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to learn about STEM and higher education. For this event, we set up a few demonstrations where students can see, touch, and smell the chemistry happening around them!
Fall 2022
The ChemExpo is a National Chemistry Week event hosted by ACS in San Diego to illustrate how chemistry is present in our everyday lives. Here, we set up a “make-a-cloud-in-a-bottle table” for high school and middle school students that introduced them to aerosols and cloud formation. Students enjoyed making a cloud in a bottle!
