Abstract
The Education Division of the American Chemical Society is piloting the High School Chemistry Clubs program. The mission of the High School Chemistry Clubs program is to invite, motivate and encourage high school students who are fascinated by the ways that chemistry connects to their world. These clubs are designed to provide fun, authentic, and hands-on opportunities for its members to experience chemistry beyond what is taught in the classroom, to learn about study and career opportunities in the many and varied fields of chemistry, and to provide service for the betterment of their communities. The Education Division provides clubs with a variety of resources including a start-up handbook, club activities (many taken from JCE Classroom Activities), and information about ACS activities such as National Chemistry Week and Chemists Celebrate Earth Day. Club sponsors are encouraged to network on an invitation-only listserv. Since Fall 2005, over 40 clubs have been established across the United States and Puerto Rico. This program will be piloted through Spring 2008, with a formal rollout anticipated for Fall 2008. Staff continues to seek chemistry teachers interested in launching a club. For more information on this exciting program, contact the ACS Education Division.
