Poem contest, National Chemistry Week

Aloha Fellow Science Enthusiasts!

As we start the new school year, it is a great time to start thinking about National Chemistry Week. It will be held this year from October 22-28th, 2017.

We will be holding an illustrated poem contest again this year for K-12 students. The theme this year is “Chemistry Rocks!” (emphasis on geology/geochemistry) to celebrate National Chemistry Week’s 30th anniversary.  I have attached the information packet

.

The deadline for submissions is September 22, 2017. Local section winners will receive a prize, advance to the national ACS illustrated poem contest, and have their winning poster showcased in display cases at Kahala Mall during NCW.

Feel free to e-mail or call me if you have any questions about the illustrated poem contest or NCW.  Please forward this e-mail to any contacts you think may be interested.

We will also be holding our annual National Chemistry Week interactive event on October 28th, 2017 at Kahala Mall. I will pass on further information about this event soon.

Thank you for your continued dedication in promoting an awareness of chemistry in our community.

Very best,
Kate
