• Resumen

  • The UCI Chemistry Outreach Program has sent over 80 volunteers to perform demonstrations for more than 6000 high school students at 35 schools. Volunteers have appreciated the small amount of time needed to participate, and high school students and teachers have enjoyed the experiments and positive message that are part of the program. A key element of this successful program has been the involvement of two graduate student coordinators (A.S.W. and L.S.), who correspond with teachers, recruit and train graduate and undergraduate volunteers, write detailed scripts for the shows, and assemble self-contained program kits.
