Engaging Students in STEM: The YBTC Challenge by Council Rock School District

The YBTC Challenge, supported by the Council Rock School District and the Chemical Educational Foundation, aims to elevate STEM education. With only 30% of 8th graders achieving proficiency in science, this initiative seeks to inspire future chemists, engineers, and leaders by exposing students to the wonders of chemistry. The challenge offers hands-on activities using common household materials and aligns with a 5E inquiry-based model to enhance learning. For more information, contact Marissa Fuss or Renee Devlin at the Chemical Educational Foundation.
