  ChemChats are monthly open roundtable discussions on Zoom facilitated by NEACT.  ChemChats are aimed at high school and college chemistry teachers but are open to all STEM teachers. Come to share ideas, come to ask questions, or just come for the collegiality.
  

  Our topic for this afternoon is "End of the Year Topics and Activities". What do you do with your students when the AP test is over, or they are already "checked out" for the summer?  You can upload/download files at any time from this google.drive folder.

  ChemChats are hosted by Sue Klemmer. I am ZOOMING from the coast of Maine, so times are always stated as east coast time. We run 4:00-5:00 pm EST.

  ChenmChats generally run the 2nd Thursday of each month from September through June. The June ChemChat will be June 12th and the topic will be "Changes for 2025-2026: things you want to change or are being required to change"

  The New England Association of Chemistry Teachers will be hosting the 2025 annual summer conference, which  will be held in person at Providence College (Providence, RI) August 4-6, 2025.   

  Conference registration is now open.  NEACT membership is required to register.  Not a member?  Join today!

  The 2025 conference theme is "Connecting Chemistry to the Real World!"  This conference will explore the real world applications of chemistry, with a particular emphasis on how chemistry concepts can be taught with assistance of artificial intelligence, and  experiments that connect real world applications, including nutrition and sustainability.  

  This year's  keynote speaker will be Dr. Kimberly Arcand who will be presenting on "Chemistry and the Cosmos".  Dr. Arcand is a visualization scientist with a background in molecular biology who now leads innovation in data visualization, 3D imaging, and extended reality for NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. Her work bridges the physical sciences—from atoms to galaxies—using cutting-edge techniques like sonification and machine learning to make complex data more accessible and engaging.  

  
  

  Learn more about Kim at her website.  We are looking forward to her presentation!

  We are currently accepting presentations on any aspect of  chemistry research and chemistry education.   We invite educators, scientists, chemistry education researchers, environmental scientists, forensics scientists, nutritionists, and AI innovators to submit proposals for sessions that engage participants in innovative ways for teaching chemistry through real-world applications. 

    Use this link to submit your proposals online by May 28, 2025.
