Volunteers from 90 local sections and three international chemical science chapters of the American Chemical Society coordinated events for the 2024 Chemists Celebrate Earth Week (CCEW). CCEW is an ACS outreach program that promotes the positive impact of chemistry. This year's theme was "Get a Charge Out of Chemistry." Thousands of members of the public had the opportunity to learn about the chemistry of batteries during the week-long event, which ran from April 21 to 27. "Our 2024 CCEW theme of batteries and electrochemistry was a big hit. Outreach groups all over the world built batteries out of pennies and foil, nails and Gatorade, and metal washers and vinegar. People learned the benefits of clean energy and discussed how to recycle and improve batteries," says Lori R. Stepan, chair of the Committee on Community Activities, which coordinates CCEW in collaboration with the ACS Office of Science Outreach. Below are some
