Chemistry Everyday for Everyone
The Chemistry Outreach Program: Women Undergraduates Presenting Chemistry to Middle School Students
Nancy E. Lee and Kathryn G. Schreiber
Department of Chemistry, Simmons College, Boston, MA 02115

July 1999
Vol. 76 No. 7

Abstract
A chemistry outreach program at Simmons College is described. It involves undergraduate women majoring in science, who conduct chemistry demonstrations for inner-city middle school students. The program is aimed at sparking interest in science among inner-city middle school girls by presenting science in fun, exciting experiments. By providing these girls with women role models and hands-on experiments that relate to everyday life, we hope to encourage many girls to consider a career in science.
