Education & Outreach

The MMLI isn’t just groundbreaking research… It’s also bringing that research into your hands!

We are revolutionizing the way chemistry is taught and practiced to capture the imagination of a new generation of molecule makers.  We are catalyzing this revolution by building upon our already established momentum of engagement with science teachers and students. Through state-of-the-art technology, tools, and curricula aligned with the NGSS guidelines, we aim to support a new workforce of educators, scientists, engineers and practitioners with skills in advanced chemical synthesis and artificial intelligence (AI).

Our missions:

  • Democratize education and innovation in chemistry and AI
  • Broaden participation in chemistry and AI beyond scientists
  • Create a diverse, inclusive, and well-equipped generation of molecule makers

Whether you’re a member of the public, a K-12 student, a University student, an educator, or a researcher, explore the MMLI’s Education and Outreach activities. Stay tuned for future models of the Digital Molecule Maker and MMLI in a Box coming soon!

CURRENT PROJECTS

Digital Molecule Maker
A powerful and interactive web-based tool connected to molecule-making robots that enables the design and synthesis of molecules with novel functions
MMLI in a Box
"Unbox" the art and science of AI-powered molecule making through exciting hands-on and role-play activities for students and teachers
MMLI in your Students' Hands (during or after school)
Partner with us to bring the NGSS-aligned MMLI in a Box and Digital Molecule Maker curricula into your classroom or after-school programs
Molecule Maker Camp
On-site summer programs at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for teachers and students to engage with molecule making
