ChemEd 2025 Presenter Information

Ready to present at ChemEd 2025? Presentations and workshops offered at ChemEd25 are an excellent source of effective practices for teaching and learning. We appreciate all of the work that the presenters do to prepare and deliver their talk. Presenting a talk at an educational conference elevates all members of the chemistry education community. 

Presentation Strands

The conference will be organized around five themes. We encourage presenters to focus on one or more of the themes, but there is an opportunity to submit a proposal outside of the below list.

Types of Presentations

You may submit a proposal for the following:

Traditional Presentation – No chemicals, glassware or other hazards. These will take place in a classroom or lecture hall. These may be 45 or 105 minutes in length.

Laboratory or Workshop Presentation – These include computer based, hands on “wet” labs and hands on “dry” activities.

In-person demonstrations and workshops involving chemicals will ONLY be allowed in laboratory spaces. All proposals involving in-person demonstrations/workshops and chemicals will need to be approved by the Chemistry Safety Committee. For safety purposes, please indicate any laboratory equipment and chemicals you require for your session. If approved by the committee, you will be contacted at a later date to confirm any required equipment and order chemicals with specific amounts. Approved chemicals will be provided by Carolina (free of charge) and shipped directly to Colorado School of Mines (chemicals that are not available from Carolina will not be provided). 

Please read the Safety Guidelines (PDF Format) before submitting your proposal. These guidelines are the NSTAMinimum Safety Practices and Regulations. 

Technology

Colorado School of Mines will provide a projector in most rooms. Be sure to indicate the need for AV in the Proposal Submission Form. However, we do not provide computer cords (HDMI, VGA, power cords, dongles, etc.) or extension cords. If you need such equipment, you must provide it yourself. NOTE: Bring power strips and extra extension cords if you need more than one outlet.
