Computational chemistry is an increasingly important part of modern research, and, yet, it is often not part of the typical undergraduate or graduate curriculum. Fortunately, the availability of free software like PSI4 and WebMO lowers the barrier to introducing computational chemistry laboratory modules. The PSI4Education project is a consortium of individuals who create, use, and share laboratory exercises across the disciplines of chemistry utilizing only free software. The current usage, implementation, and success of the existing labs will be discussed along with mention of installation for the requisite free programs PSI4 and WebMO as well as an appeal for additional collaboration, usage, and contribution.
