Chemistry students challenged with new competition

Friday, 16 August 2024

Last semester, students in the Organic Chemistry unit SCC2211 competed in the inaugural Chemistry Synthesis Competition. The students drew on the skills and techniques that they had learnt during the laboratory course this semester to compete for the honour of being named the best synthetic students at ECU! Teams were assessed on their cohesion and collaboration, their independence (i.e., not needing input from demonstrators), their proficient usage of chemistry glassware and apparatus, and the quality of their final product, meaning the amount produced and its purity.

The competition came down to the wire with only 3 points separating third and first place for both of the two laboratory sessions. Well done to all that competed!
