CHEMISTRY IN DREAMSCAPE
SOLVING HIGH-STAKES GLOBAL PROBLEMS - ONE MOLECULE AT A TIME
As new agents in the Institute for Tele-Present Exploration, students become problem-solving research chemists on high-stakes missions, traveling across the globe, and beyond, to investigate urgent challenges in human health, forensics, environmental crises, and space exploration.
Across six modules, students explore core topics like atomic structure, aqueous solutions, thermochemistry, and entropy. Each immersive experience is paired with classroom lessons and hands-on work that connect fundamental concepts of Chemistry to meaningful, real-world problems. By applying these concepts to urgent, authentic challenges, students build the analytical skills and scientific mindset needed to thrive in STEM.
