FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Science, scents, and cloud bubbles? That’s just the beginning at this year’s ACS Kids Zone, a free, family-friendly event hosted by the American Chemical Society (ACS) on Saturday, August 16, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET at the Ronald Reagan Building on Pennsylvania Avenue (outdoors next to the Children’s Museum) in Washington, D.C.
Sponsored by ACS President Dorothy J. Phillips, this one-day event invites children and families to explore the fascinating world of chemistry through hands-on activities led by real scientists. From awesome photo ops with ACS mascot Meg-A-Mole to interactive science stations, Kids Zone is where curiosity and creativity meet.
Visitors will be able to follow their noses in a spice-matching challenge, create their own spice-scented lotion, and discover the surprising properties of turmeric. They can make long-lasting cloud bubbles, see how chemistry makes scents come alive, and send secret messages using simple kitchen chemistry. Every station is designed to spark imagination, inspire learning, and show just how fun science can be.
Registration is free but required in advance.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1876 and chartered by the U.S. Congress. ACS is committed to improving all lives through the transforming power of chemistry. Its mission is to advance scientific knowledge, empower a global community and champion scientific integrity, and its vision is a world built on science. The Society is a global leader in promoting excellence in science education and providing access to chemistry-related information and research through its multiple research solutions, peer-reviewed journals, scientific conferences, e-books and weekly news periodical Chemical & Engineering News. ACS journals are among the most cited, most trusted and most read within the scientific literature; however, ACS itself does not conduct chemical research. As a leader in scientific information solutions, its CAS division partners with global innovators to accelerate breakthroughs by curating, connecting and analyzing the world’s scientific knowledge. ACS’ main offices are in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.
Registered journalists can subscribe to the ACS journalist news portal on EurekAlert! to access embargoed and public science press releases. For media inquiries, contact newsroom@acs.org.
Note: ACS does not conduct research but publishes and publicizes peer-reviewed scientific studies.
