Outreach

The Calcium chapter is involved in many outreach opportunities where we can influence the community to appreciate science.  Some examples of these actives include:

· Girls Inc. of Orange County

             We visit this afterschool and summer program to teach              them how exciting chemistry can be.  We help them              perform experiment such as plating a penny and making              a polymer ball.

· Ask a scientist Night

· Local and regional Science Fair Judges

· Girls Scout troops

             We help girl scouts earn their science badges by                   performing fun experiments.
