Chemistry Camp 

Explore a different side of STEM with this new program.  As junior chemists, students will study the substances that make up matter—everything that takes up space in the universe. They also study the changes that take place when substances are combined. These changes are called chemical reactions.  Participants who join will have the chance to see how the properties of substances can make for exciting projects; some projects might include slime, foam dough, and lava lamps.
