Summary:We believe that students should have opportunitiesearly and oftento learn about science and math activities in fun and recreational ways. As a result, we try to provide many science enrichment activities to the surrounding community. In doing so, we hope to inspire young students to become future scientists and mathematicians. Here we describe some annual science outreach events that we have hosted, share a few demonstrations and activities we have tried at these events, and discuss how we plan to connect our outreach in 2011 to the themes of the International Year of Chemistry.
