Over the past two months, we’ve had the pleasure of participating in Milwaukee School of Engineering's Candy Chemistry sessions! 🍬🧪 Working alongside MSOE faculty, Hydrite volunteers helped present a course to elementary school students, teaching the fundamentals of chemistry in a way that captured their curiosity—through candy! It was amazing to see the kids’ excitement as they explored basic chemical concepts in a hands-on way. Thank you to the faculty, teachers, and especially the students for making this experience so enjoyable. We’re grateful to continue being involved in programs that inspire young minds and make science so sweet! Learn more about ways Hydrite Helps the community:
