Festival de Química – Puerto Rico

The “FESTIVAL DE QUÍMICA” is a community outreach event that, through demonstrations, emphasizes the importance of chemistry in daily life. The event was initially designed, developed and implemented in Puerto Rico, since 2010 ACS adopted this model to broader its impact internationally. (Visit the official ACS page for Festival de Química.)

It includes training prior to the event using the model “Train the trainers” for those who will work as volunteers, manual for volunteer, manual for outreach coordinator and flash cards for participants.
