The Outreach Program

Through the UF Chemistry Club Science Outreach Program, students of all majors have the opportunity to inspire K-8 Alachua County children by performing hands-on labs and demonstrations at local schools and events. The Outreach Program helps teachers provide a visual demonstration to supplement in-class material in order to spark their students’ interest in science.

Applications for Fall 2026 are now open!
