PCC Chemistry STEM Saturday - Spring 2026

These workshops will be led by PCC faculty and student mentors dedicated to providing you with an enriching experience.

Come explore some chemicals and how they react with each other to create exciting results! You will learn about different types of chemical reactions and see cool color changes. You will get hands-on experience and use observational skills to see how different chemicals react to give a variety of products. You will learn how to record qualitative data. Experiments are aimed at introducing students to chemistry, rather than exploring AP level material - however, regardless of chemistry level, you may observe some reactions at this event that you might not normally see at your level of chemistry.

[note: this is a repeat activity from previous Chemistry STEM Saturday events if you attended before]

This FREE EVENT is for high school students (one parent/guardian per student is welcome to come). There is no cost to attend but space is limited - register early! Register for as many Saturdays as you’d like.
