The local chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) sponsored the 2021 STEM Fest at the Omega Event Center in Elkhart this Saturday. It was a massive collaboration of organizations and campuses. The ACS was joined by the E3 Robotics Center, American Electric Power, and the Coast Guard Auxiliary as well as students from the University of Notre Dame, Andrews University, and our own students from the Biology-Chemistry Club. This event was held at the end of National Chemistry Week on October 23 which is also known as "Mole Day" for the association of the date 10/23 with the power of Avogadro's number (6.022*10^23) of entities in one mole of a substance. The theme for this year was catalysis as seen in the logo at the below taken from the ACS website. Thanks to everyone for their hard work to instill an appreciation and curiosity for the science around us.
