Outreach – MIT Women+ in Chemistry

If you are interested in getting involved, or have resources you would like to pass along, please contact us at wicplusexec@mit.edu.

The outreach committee organizes opportunities to engage with the broader community through educational chemistry demonstrations at local museums, schools, science fairs, and more.

Recent events have included the following:

Presentation on the chemistry of ice cream with MIT Introduction to Technology, Engineering, and Science
Slime-making activity at STEAM It Up!
Chemistry demonstrations at the Museum of Science for National Chemistry Week

About

Women+ in Chemistry (WIC+) is a group that uses the lens of gender to guide its support of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in the Department of Chemistry. Our mission is to foster a sense of community in the department, facilitate connections with the greater community, support the professional development of department members, and advocate for people of all genders and for gender diversity in the department and the entire chemistry community.

The language “Women+" indicates that WIC+ welcomes anyone who identifies with our mission, which may include cis and trans women, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized on the basis of gender. We welcome allies to join us in centering the voices of those whose gender identities are underrepresented in chemistry.
