Faculty and graduate students from
the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering
team up with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History
Education Division to provide learning experiences
beyond those available in traditional high school
coursework. "Polymer Science Day" is an extension of the
Museum's Future Scientist (FS) program, which addresses
students of grades 9 to 12.
As part of this program, each year the Case team invites
the FS students to spend a day in their polymer labs.
The Polymer Science Day features mini-lectures,
demonstrations, lab tours and hands-on activities. In
order to showcase the potential of polymers as highly
tailored specialty products, the Case team highlights
current cutting-edge research areas, such as "Polymers
in Electronics" and "Polymer Nanomaterials".
