Midland College Student Chapter has been active in community outreach activities for the last two years since its reactivation in 2011. The chapter conducts elaborate National Chemistry Week (NCW) celebrations. The Chemistry Club members go out to various elementary schools in our school district to perform chemistry demonstrations such as elephant toothpaste, dry ice and magnesium sparkling, and dry ice bubbles using fish tank. The highlight of our NCW activities is the mall demo for a non-stop three hours. We have about 500 people who stop by our booth and were thrilled about our interest in motivating community science awareness. One of our most popular chemistry games, �guess the element�, can be geared to whatever the theme of NCW may be and we play around with the theme. The chapter keeps it active by organizing field trips and inviting speakers to talk about their career achievements. The chapter is awarded Honorable mention for its community outreach efforts.
