Chemical Education Foundation's You Be The Chemist Challenge® is a collaborative, multilevel academic competition that celebrates the science of chemistry and elevates STEM careers.
The Challenge is an academic competition created by the Chemical Educational Foundation® (CEF), a national science education non-profit, to encourage students in grades 5-8 to explore chemistry concepts and discover their real-world applications.   
Qualifying teams compete at Regional Challenges where they collaboratively answer timed short-answer questions.   

Competing schools included: 
Aragon Middle School- Cy Fair ISD
Barrow Elementary 
Clute Intermediate

Advancing teams from each Regional Challenge create a video exploring the role of chemistry in their community. Videos are evaluated by a panel of judges, and the top video from each state is recognized on the CEF website. The top 10 teams, selected from those recognized in each state/territory, participate in an on-site competition in Houston, TX, where they are evaluated onsite by a panel of judges on their video creation process, explored topics, and overall knowledge of scientific concepts addressed in the video. The top teams receive prizes and recognition.
