Science performance
That Chemistry Show, presented by the University of Victoria Chemistry Students’ Society, helps raise money for the United Way and other charities.

Members of the department participate in various volunteer programs to bring science to the community or to support young scientists in their interests. The program Scientists and Innovators in the Schools invites us into classrooms around the province. Each student is able to perform a chemistry experiment appropriate for their age group and to have some fun learning a little science.

The regional finals of the Vancouver Island Regional Science Fair are held annually at UVic and have had strong support from chemists working either in the university or around Victoria.
