• "I appreciated the daily lab work and working with chemicals. I appreciated learning about the 12 principles of green chemistry and how different industries were applying these concepts to their work and products. The field trips were wonderful and I appreciated seeing how chemistry(and esp green chemistry) is being used in the world right at this moment. These helped in my motivation to pursue green chemistry and material science."

• "In the chemistry program, we learned a lot about green chemistry and sustainability. We also take in the context of the 12 principles of chemistry and have hands-on experiences inside the labs, including those on the field trips. Our teacher is nice and always ready to help us with our materials."
