Students Keith Finney and Elliott Finney explore science in the Chemistry in Action community education class as instructor Christine Olivia leads hands-on, engaging experiments.
MOHAVE COUNTY – Mohave College Community Education recently inspired young learners through its Chemistry in Action program, a hands-on class designed to introduce students ages 11–15 to the fundamentals of chemistry.
The interactive course gave participants the opportunity to explore chemistry through engaging experiments, lab safety instruction and real-world applications. Students gained practical, hands-on experience while building a strong foundation in scientific concepts in a fun and supportive learning environment.
As an added benefit, participating Boy Scouts of America were able to complete the chemistry merit badge during the course, combining educational enrichment with advancement opportunities.
“This spring, Community Education has been expanding our kids and teen offerings with a variety of classes ranging from crafts to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We are looking forward to June when College for Kids returns with exciting new camps,” said Lori Gunnette, Associate Dean, Community Education & Youth Programs.
Programs like Chemistry in Action highlight Mohave College Community Education’s commitment to providing accessible, hands-on learning that sparks curiosity and encourages students to explore STEM. The program connects classroom concepts to real-world applications while being part of a broader lineup of youth offerings, including Mystery at Mohave and Sustainability: Soil & Water Conservation, which focus on critical thinking, teamwork and environmental science.
Looking ahead, the College will host its annual College for Kids program throughout June across southern campuses, offering a wide range of enrichment camps focused on hands-on learning and career exploration.
