Book a ChemNet Visit

The RSC has a thriving annual programme of school visits for 14 to 18 year old students. "ChemNet Ambassadors" go to schools/colleges and attend careers and science fairs. They deliver a presentation about the routes to studying chemistry, the career opportunities open to chemists and how RSC ChemNet can support students during their studies. Click the link below for more information and to book a ChemNet visit for your school.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Each activity is clearly explained with instructions on setting up and delivering the activities as well as an indication of the time and resource requirements. Questions and further work for students to undertake as part of the activity are also included.Whether you are an outreach coordinator delivering outreach to schools, a teacher looking for ways to make outreach relevant, or just curious about how to engage and inspire students with chemistry, these tried-and-tested resources are full of great ideas.
