Entering the school holidays Tanjungpura University's Chemistry Insight Center (CIC) is again holding Fun Chemistry activities with ASTON Pontianak Hotel & Center on July 11, 12 and 13 with the theme "Fun Chemistry For Kids". This activity took place at the Garden Lounge of ASTON Pontianak Hotel & Convention Center with the age range of participants from 5 to 12 years.

Chairman of CIC UNTAN, Intan Syahbanu, S.Sc., M.Sc. said that "through this activity we introduce science to children in a fun way and science is no longer a scary thing. Apart from that, children can try it again at home because the results of the experiment can be taken home."

In this Fun Chemistry 2023 For Kids activity, children are taught to experiment making Chewy Soap on the first day, Kinetic Sand on the second day, and Nature Print on the third day, where each group will be accompanied by the CIC Untan team. Apart from that, every day exciting games are also held which make the event even more lively and interesting.

Athala, one of the participants who took part in the activity, said that he was very happy about taking part in Fun Chemistry 2023, because apart from making friends from different schools, he also gained knowledge and experience doing science experiments himself.

Bia also said that she was very happy to take part in this activity and would take part again if a similar activity was held." It's fun to experiment with and lots of games."

CIC Untan is a public service program from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Tanjungpura University which aims to provide educational services and assistance in enriching natural sciences, especially chemistry in theory, practice, academic writing and downstream research products in the field of chemistry.
