8. Green chemistry outreach
-
Larry Kolopajlo
Abstract
This paper discusses several approaches used to infuse green chemistry and its core values into the outreach curriculum spanning 2013-2017 at Eastern Michigan University. Pertinent pedagogy, best practices, suggestions on how to organize an outreach activity, and common pitfalls to be avoided will be discussed. A unique feature of the outreach camps described is that diversity is addressed.
