The world is full of beautiful colors and many can be explained with chemistry. 

Each week, we'll begin class by introducing the week's topic or theme, discussing what students already know about it, and then diving deep into the history, background, and chemistry concepts behind it. At the end of each class, students will have the opportunity to share what they found most interesting and answer questions to review what they've learned. 

This class is perfect for anyone who always wonder "why?" and "how?"
