01

ChemQuest 2024 – Teknaf

Burmese Government Primary School, Teknaf, Chittagong

February 2024

300+ Students Reached

I had the privilege of participating in a remarkable outreach program organized by ACS DU in the remote area of Teknaf, Bangladesh, where access to quality science education is limited. The event aimed to spark curiosity, foster connections, and disseminate knowledge to approximately 300 students.

The program featured a dynamic mix of activities, including live science experiments, an engaging science quiz, and a thought-provoking scientific talk that significantly enriched the students' interest in science. Interactive Q&A sessions provided an opportunity for active learning and student participation, creating a balance of both enjoyment and education.

Environmental Initiatives

Beach Cleaning & Environmental Awareness

Beach Cleaning Campaign

Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh

As a chemistry student passionate about environmental sustainability, I participated in beach cleaning initiatives aimed at preserving our coastal ecosystems. These campaigns combined environmental action with awareness programs about the impact of chemical pollutants and plastic waste on marine life.

The initiative brought together students, local communities, and environmental organizations to clean shorelines and educate beachgoers about responsible waste disposal and the chemistry behind ocean pollution and its effects on aquatic ecosystems.
