Episode 103 – Reimagining the Chemistry Set

Janet Coffey

Imagine the chemistry set of the 21st century.  That’s the idea behind a new competition.  SPARK, The Science Play and Research Kit competition, is a project of the Society for Science & the Public, in collaboration with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.  To tell us more about the competition, we contacted Janet Coffey – program officer for science learning at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.  Listen and learn how you can submit your chemistry kit idea or prototype for the competition.
