ACS Kids Zone

ACS Kids Zones are free public events featuring facilitator-supported activities based on the theme for children and their families. ACS members, including local chemists, chemistry students, and volunteer chemists of the ACS Committee on Community Activities support interactive investigations, so children can learn with actual chemists.

On Saturday, August 12th, ACS President Judith C. Giordan sponsored the free public event at San Francisco’s Children’s Creativity Museum. Participants enjoyed hands-on science activities, the opportunity to meet real chemists, and educational giveaways!
