Computational chemistry has emerged as one of the central methods in doing chemistry, equally as important as that of traditional wet chemistry" chemistry techniques.  Education in computational chemistry, especially at the pre-college level, has not kept pace with the use of computing in the chemical sciences.  A program at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics offers a semester-long course in computational chemistry, along with 10 other courses in the computational sciences.  In this session, a computational chemistry educator will describe "lessons learned" from more than 15 years of teaching computational chemistry to high school chemistry students.
