# [Scientist for a Day](https://chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news/2017-in-review-women-in-chemistry/)

Each summer, MIT Women in Chemistry welcome middle school girls to campus for a day of fun, interactive chemistry experiments.

Your energy and enthusiasm certainly encouraged my students. On the bus ride home, one boy said, "I felt like an engineer.” What a powerful impact you all had on the lives and futures of my students.

– Ms. Ellen Latham, Magic Show Participant
