Every year, the Wesley College organic chemistry class participates in a four-hour, DE-ACS sponsored, Family Science Adventure program. Our volunteers develop and bring interactive chemistry concepts and activities that engage over 250 elementary and middle school students. This year, chemistry was further demystified using creative experiments and colorful hands-on activities. A survey instrument measured student interest and engagement in science before and after the event.     <br/>The Wesley College undergraduate research program in chemistry is supported by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research grant IIA-1301765 (Delaware EPSCoR program); an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) at the National Institutes of Health (P20GM103446, Delaware INBRE program); a NSF S-STEM grant (NSF DUE 1355554 - the Wesley College Cannon Scholar program) and the State of Delaware (Delaware Economic Development Office).
