Teacher Testimonials
"At the end of the day, learning how many different applications a simple food recipe can have to my existing curriculum is huge, and learning how to break it down into each concept/standard covered transformed my outlook on my curriculum. "

- Jocelyn, HS Chemistry Teacher, MI
"I enjoyed getting to work together with some amazing educators and try out all of the hands-on activities for myself. Trying them out made the lessons feel more approachable and less intimidating."
​
- Lacee, MS Science Teacher, CO
"The workshop gave me a lot of confidence to teach in a new way. I learned so many practical ways to help kids see chemistry in their daily lives. I think it's going to really help the stigma around chemistry in my space."
