Flow chemistry techniques have begun to emerge as a synthetic tool for the modern chemist-- challenging the notion that organic synthesis begins in a round bottom flask. With significant advantages demonstrated by industrial researchers, teaching this new technique to future chemists increases awareness and fosters a much deeper understanding of organic chemistry.  The presentation will illustrate what flow chemistry can bring to an academic teaching environment both for the student and the instructor. A teaching method that illustrates examples of increased safety, understanding of kinetics, heat, mass transfer and scalability, with the aim of increasing student understanding will be discussed.
