American Chemical Society Student Affiliates emphasize childrens'
education by providing a free of charge Chem Magic Show. Since
1991, students and faculty have gone to over 50 elementary, middle
and high schools of the Fort Worth, Crowley, Arlington, and
Birdville Independent School Districts. The 1-1.5 hour program of
chemical demonstrations has been presented to over 5,000 students in
both English and Spanish. |

In addition, the Student Affiliates
sponsored a "Summer Enrichment Program in Chemistry for Children."
The program, which targeted economically disadvantaged minority
children, provided a free educational experience in chemistry to 30
local Hispanic and African-American students (3rd-6th
grade). |
