We developed a pilot syllabus for a Junior Scientist badge for 8-12 year olds. It involved interaction between 16 of our students and 9 young people from St Michael\u27s Youth Project in Inchicore over 5 weeks. The inspiration came from work in the USA to promote science to girls by supporting scouts towards obtaining a chemistry badge. This is one of a series of community based learning (CBL) projects implemented as the \u27lab\u27 component of a 2nd year Professional Skills module for chemistry at Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT).https://arrow.tudublin.ie/civpostbk/1051/thumbnail.jp
