The Palladium Science Academy was created to spread chemistry knowledge to the community through outreach activities at locations such as summer camps and libraries. Basic science activities are presented to the public at these types of locations. More advanced science activities are taught in schools to augment what the students are learning in their normal teacher led classroom setting. Additional activities have included working with youth groups such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts on their science related badges. In addition, the Palladium Science Academy has been working with other ACS sections and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute to promote a more focused curriculum for the youth groups through the implementation of the Green Chemistry and Green Engineering Patch Program. Some private events are also booked for pay and the revenue generated helps fund several of these activities during the year. Other organizations have contributed resources and funding to assist with the costs of these community events. A few of the successful collaborations will be presented. The Palladium Science Academy has worked with several youth groups and the Wallkill school district in New York, the Lehigh Valley Local Section and the DaVinci Science Center in Pennsylvania, and the ACS Green Chemistry Institute in Washington DC.
