On October 8th and 10th Dr. Laia Pellejà, ICIQ’s science outreach officer, conducted a workshop for high-school teachers on how to make the synthesis of the aspirin. The purpose of this 6-hour long workshop is to train teachers on this subject so they can transfer this knowledge to their students. ICIQ also offered its outreach lab to the participants to perform the synthesis with their students.
