MOLECULE OF THE WEEK
The Molecule of the Week is a project of ACS in which the Society weekly reveals a compound of our daily routine and discusses about the chemistry involved. The ACS USP Student Chapter is officially the MOTW diffuser on social medias like Facebook.
CHEMISTRY IN ACTION
The ACS USP Student Chapter also has projects focused on our community. Thinking about how to dessiminate the scientist as a profession and motivate more people to follow science careers, the group develops experiments with children from 4 to 9 years old during the school vacation. This is a collaboration between the Chapter and the University of São Paulo (USP) Center of Culture and Science Divulgation
CHEMISTRY SHOW
With a playful character, the "Chemistry Show" is a dynamic and interactive event that aims to perform practical demonstrations of some chemical phenomena in order to
to entertain - as is common with most chemistry shows - but also, as an alternative proposal, to expose and explain in a simple and objective way the phenomena behind each experiment.
CHAP'ZA NIGHT
In order to promote Networking, the Chap'za Night involves a night of great fun, conversation, music, American Chemical Society meeting, brainstorming, distracting moments and lots of pizza! Both for associates and non-members
