Last Friday the Bradley University Demo Crew (a part of the Bradley University Undergraduate Chapter of the American Chemical Society) did its last event of the academic year. We reached out to about 2375 participants over the course of 25 events (these numbers are new seasonal highs for us) utilizing the assistance of 34 students (one did 13 events) and other faculty members. Our grand total over the four years of the Demo Crew project exceeds 100 events and 8800 participants - we hope to exceed the 10,000 mark next year. We are grateful for support, including from the Bradley University Mund-Lagowski Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, the Illinois Heartland Section of the American Chemical Society, and the Illinois Space Grant Institute. If you have suggestions for more funding sources for this sort of thing let me know. One of the attached pictures shows what my backyard looked like after hosing off and hanging all of those green tarps from last week's shows.
