For four consecutive years, we have had a twelve-hour marathon of chemical demonstrations in Plaza del Caribe Mall, a large shopping center in our community. Demonstrations related to materials, environment, health, acid-bases, and general topics are performed from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Every two hours, the theme is changed which allows the public to better understand the importance of chemistry in our daily lives. People of all ages are attracted to our demonstrations. They receive orientation and information about how chemistry is helping them every day. The marathon takes place during the National Chemistry Week. This activity involve faculty, the chapter board of directors, and students members. Two faculty members are assigned to each two hours period to supervise and help chapter members. This is a great way to allow students and faculty do networking while communicating why chemistry is part of our daily lives. <br/>

Chemistry marathon!
