ACS Kids Zone
ACS Kids Zones are public events featuring facilitator-supported chemistry activities for children and their families. ACS members, including local chemists, chemistry students, and members of the ACS Committee on Community Activities support the interactive investigations so that children experience success doing and learning chemistry.
ACS Fall 2022 Kids Zone
On Saturday, August 20, ACS President Angela K. Wilson sponsored the free public event at Chicago’s Navy Pier. Participants enjoyed the hands-on science activities, the opportunity to meet real chemists, and the educational giveaways!
