The George Mason University Chemistry Club developed a workshop for scouts to visit their Chem Labs on campus, and to experience the world of chemistry with a number of interactive activities! 

This event will take place at Exploratory Hall, George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. 

Event Description: 
The STEM Program consists of 2 hour sessions, and welcomes all girl and boy youth from grades 2-5. The program will begin in the Periodic Table Lobby of Exploratory Hall at GMU and end in the Chem Labs of Planetary Hall. 

GMU's Chemistry Club will open with a safety brief, then conduct two exciting chemistry demonstrations, followed by three interactive activities! Come join us! All youth will receive a lab coat from GMU. There is a fee of $15/youth to cover the cost of materials.
