The University of Southern Maine (USM) Chemistry Club has been collaborating with another USM student group since June 2013 as means to extend educational outreach. The USM Chapter of the Society for Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry (SETAC) and the USM Chemistry club have combined efforts resulting in several events for the community. Both groups participated in several Portland First Friday Artwalks this summer, an event that celebrates the artistic culture of Portland, Maine. The Chemistry Club and SETAC offered atomic cupcakes and activities for children to encourage curiosity in science and green chemistry. Both groups also held workshops at the Portland Children's Museum for children of all ages in efforts to educate and inspire interest in the future of our planet.
