The Festival de Química is a community outreach event joining the efforts of hundreds of volunteers that, through demonstrations, emphasize the importance of chemistry in daily life.

We will welcome 500 students in this event. Different stations will be set and staffed by volunteers, each station present a different demonstration, related to the yearly theme of NCW: Fabulous Fibers! as well as different areas of chemistry and its relevance to daily life. These demonstrations do not involve the use of any hazardous substance only household materials are used.
