We’re partnering with Mobius Discovery Center to bring you a special day of exploration and investigating careers in chemistry!

This FREE Summer Program for Youth brought to you by GSK Science in the Summer – a fun and free science education program sponsored by GSK, in collaboration with the Franklin Institute.

**Registration info coming soon – this event has limited capacity.

Be a Cosmetic Chemist A cosmetics company is looking for nature-based coloring agents to add to their products. Explore two natural materials, cochineal and butterfly pea, to discover the range of colors their pigments can produce; then test the pH of the results to determine their safety for human skin.

Be a Forensic Chemist A handwritten note found at a crime scene may provide key evidence for locating the suspect. Use the technique of chromatography to analyze the components of different types of ink and find out which type of pen was used to write the note.

Be a Materials Chemist A toy company wants to develop a new variety of their best-selling slime toy. Compare the properties of the original slime to other stretchy toys and adapt the formula to create a stronger, stretchier material.

Be a Medicinal Chemist How do you create a medicine for upset stomachs? Research the properties of an existing antacid tablet, experiment to find a chemical combination that produces a similar result.
