Inter Ponce student chapter created a food chemistry division to impact our student community. The main goal of our division is to consolidate chemistry and gastronomy concepts on different experiments. Focusing on impacting schools with demonstrations and educational lectures. Our members participated on a field trip to the Coffee Museum, where we had an orientation about the chemistry of coffee and were allowed to do experiments to measure pH levels in the coffee at different temperatures. We also are working to increase our support for people in need, such as giving food to homeless people, donating supplies at orphanages and visiting local oncological hospitals to exhibit our educational experiments. Multiple educational activities such as science cafes have been planned to educate and integrate our peers, professors, and members of our chapter to enjoy the molecular gastronomy of food through chemistry. One of our special activities this year is a trip to a local dairy farm that manufactures the highest artisanal quality cheese and yogurt to focus on the science aspect of their dairy products. In addition, we provided new activities to our members by providing workshops; one of the most attended was about the fermentation of yogurt and wine. In summary, our commitment to our university and community is to educate people in a creative way.
