CSP Senior Investigator Jane Wissinger and MRSEC Research Experiences for Teachers participants Cassandra Knutson and Cassidy Javner have been selected as recipients of an ACS-CEI Award for Incorporating Sustainability into Chemistry Education, sponsored by the ACS Committee on Environmental Improvement (CEI).
This award is an acknowledgement of the team’s efforts to organize a three-day workshop for Minnesota high school chemistry teachers in summer 2017. The workshop included a background and introduction to sustainability and green chemistry along with hands-on laboratory experiments that highlighted novel polymer experiments aligned with next generation science standards (NGSS).
Registration for the 2018 workshop is now open.
This workshop is sponsored by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, the University of Minnesota Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, and the NSF Center for Sustainable Polymers.
