Conferences

The BCCE helps chemistry educators make connections with colleagues and friends who are dedicated to the teaching and learning of chemistry. The conference provides educators with opportunities for interacting with colleagues in formal and informal settings and can be an excellent source for ideas, inspiration, and materials for those both new to chemistry education and those who have years of experience.
