Invitations are open to all public and private certified high schools in these counties. THIS YEAR’S EVENT WILL BE ON SATURDAY MARCH 24TH, 2012.
Chemathon is a team competition for students who have had, or will soon be completing, at least one year of high school chemistry.
Teams consist of 4 students and each high school is allowed to bring up to 3 teams in the AP/IB Division and 3 teams in the General Division to the competition (Up to 6 teams per school).
