The need for formal education in the technologies, techniques, and tools of computational chemistry is of critical importance for tomorrow's chemistry professionals. This education can and should start before students matriculate to the undergraduate level. This session describes the efforts of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics to teach computational chemistry as a formal chemistry elective to pre-college students. In addition, this session will address how computational chemistry is integrated into honors and AP chemistry courses and into the research in the chemistry program at NCSSM. Finally, this session will describe the development of a distance learning program in computational chemistry and the development of a textbook in computational chemistry specifically for high school educators.
