PAWS hosted a booth in the Science of Everyday Life tent within Science City at the 2025 Tucson Festival of Books. Thirty graduate and undergraduate students from CBC worked together to engage with the festival attendees and spark an interest in science. They explored the fascinating world of chemistry with colorful demonstrations using pH and redox reaction experiments. It was a great opportunity to inspire the next generation of scientists and make learning fun for all!

CBC continues to receive a significant number of outreach requests from different schools and organizations to present and participate in outreach, such as providing demonstrations and interactive demonstrations, scheduling lab tours, having chemistry “magic shows,” meeting potential students, and attending high school career fairs.
CBC has a long history of engaging our community. CBC faculty, staff members, and several volunteer student groups respond to outreach requests from schools and organizations in the Tucson area. We love the opportunities to show the amazing world of chemistry and biochemistry to lifelong learners of all ages!
