Green Chemistry Experiments for Remote Locations

November 4, 2016

Brazil is a large and diverse country. It has characteristics favorable to embedding green chemistry education in schools and universities, including its rich biodiversity and vast availability of natural resources, However, it also presents many challenges including the diverse culture and educational approaches in different regions of the country and the challenging context in many schools, which lack laboratories and experimental classes. The workshop “Green Chemistry Experiments for Remote Locations”, a partnership between the American Chemical Society and the Brazilian Green Chemistry School, brought together teachers, professors, and researchers from Brazilian schools and universities with international experts to discuss possible strategies to help spread a practical green chemistry education in Brazil.
