For the past 15 years our outreach program Elemental Expeditions (EE), has built strong ties throughout the local community by promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math education (STEM) to disadvantaged youth attending resource-limited schools. Through hands-on chemistry experiments, interactive lesson plans, EE has made great strides towards broadening the educational opportunities available to local title I elementary schools. For the past two years our EE outreach program has incorporated pre and post quizzes to measure the learning outcomes. This project is an expansion of our outreach program to compare results of charter elementary school outreach with the results of title I elementary schools within the same geographic area.
