What’s New
Welcome to the 2015 National Challenge!
We couldn’t be more excited to finally be in Philadelphia for the 2015 National Challenge! Our 36 participants have traveled from all over the country to compete for scholarships and prizes, and we’re already setting the stage for tomorrow’s competition. We hope you’ll be joining us!
Women In STEM Around the World
Take a look at how female scientists are leading the charge to change perceptions of who – and what – a STEM professional looks like. From Australian women building the Southern Hemisphere’s first ever underground dark matter detection laboratory, to the “Tech Needs Girls” initiative in Ghana, here are just a few of the women making notable contributions to their field, despite the odds.
Calling All Scientists!
We’re working to show middle-school students why studying chemistry matters – and we want to hear from you!
They’re Up for the Challenge! Are You?
The National Challenge is only a few weeks away, and our 36 participants are studying hard for their chance to show off what they’ve learned in Philadelphia! Their efforts haven’t escaped the attention of local press – we’ve seen a steady stream of articles about our State Challenge winners and their national aspirations.

Summer Science: Fun in the Sun!
The school year may be winding to a close, but summer break doesn’t have to be a vacation from learning science! Warmer weather is the perfect opportunity for students of all ages to get outside and explore the world around them.

Meet the Next Generation of STEM
While some students are just dipping their toes into the sea of STEM research and career opportunities, others are already making waves! A special U.S. News report profiles 16 young scientists (ages 13-21) who are “making extraordinary strides in medical research, energy, computer sciences and other STEM fields.”
Hands-On Science in the Ocean State
On May 16, 20 science teachers in Providence, RI attended one of our Essential Elements professional development workshops. Over bagels and coffee, local teachers brought their enthusiasm and curiosity to the fore as we guided them through our hands-on, interactive teaching methods, proven to get young scientists buzzing about chemistry.
