What is the You Be The Chemist Challenge?
The You Be The Chemist Challenge is a fun and innovative academic competition that engages 5th-8th grade students in the science of chemistry. The Challenge:
- engages students in science
- provides educators an exciting way to educate their students about science

The Challenge brings students, educators/school districts, parents, industry members, and other community members together to celebrate the science of chemistry!
