More than 100 high school students from across the state participated in the second annual Polymer Science High School Day Jan. 28 at The University of Southern Mississippi, hosted by its School of Polymers and High Performance Materials.
Designed to encourage interest in science among high school students, the day's events
included a written examination and a quiz bowl giving students a chance to test their
knowledge about polymer science. Other activities included demonstrations of experiments
using polymer materials; problem solving activities; and tours of the university's
internationally renowned polymer science research facilities, where they interacted
with Southern Miss polymer science faculty and students.
