The goal of the "The Polymer Science of Everyday Things" symposium and workshop is to explain how things that people encounter and use everyday depend on polymer science for their ubiquity. Scientists and teachers hear and are excited about inventions continually, but seldom stop to think about common things, such as how musical instruments (e.g.,violins, guitars, and clarinets) are made, and what is important in the construction of CDs, DVDs, and mobile phones. Seldom, if ever, has there been asymposium and workshop that extends educational outreach on those topics in polymer science to teachers and scientists, by teachers and scientists, with substantial emphasis on three remote-site workshop learning facilities. Thus, this symposium and workshop fulfill these needs while enhancing education in the field of polymer science and enhancing teaching professionalism. Intellectual Merit: The Workshop and symposium will have scientists of the highest caliber, motication, and communcation skills dedicated to inspiring future generations of scientists and communicating to the public the impact of science "in everyday things". Examples of speakers include Nobel Laureate Alan MacDiarmid, ACS Past President Elsa Reichmanis, and Joseph Nagyvary whose life work has been the study of the relationship of materials science to sound in the Stradivarius violin. Broader impacts include: "The Polymer Science of Everyday Things" Interactive Tutorial Symposium and K-12 long distance workshop augment: Inforation transfer between scientists, teachers, and industry Education of members and K-12 teachers about timely scientific developments that becam popularly-used products Examination of cross-disciplines (polymer science, manufacturing processes, performance testing) from several industris (consumer electronics, musical instruments, eletronic displays, and high-fidelity audio reproduction).

“日常事物的聚合物科学”研讨会和研讨会的目标是解释人们每天遇到和使用的东西是如何依赖于聚合物科学的。 科学家和教师不断地听到发明并为之兴奋，但很少停下来思考一些常见的事情，比如乐器（例如，小提琴、吉他和单簧管）的制造，以及CD、DVD和移动的电话的制造中重要的是什么。 很少有，如果有的话，有不对称和讲习班，扩大教育推广这些主题的聚合物科学的教师和科学家，由教师和科学家，实质上强调三个远程现场讲习班的学习设施。 因此，本次研讨会和研讨会满足了这些需求，同时加强了高分子科学领域的教育，提高了教学专业性。 智力优势：研讨会和专题讨论会将有最高水平的科学家，动机和沟通技巧，致力于激励未来几代科学家，并向公众传达科学“在日常生活中”的影响。 演讲者的例子包括诺贝尔奖获得者艾伦·麦克迪尔米德，ACS前总统艾尔莎Reichmanis和约瑟夫Nagyvary的生活工作一直是材料科学的关系，在斯特拉迪瓦里小提琴声音的研究。 更广泛的影响包括： “日常事物的聚合物科学”互动研讨会和K-12远程研讨会增加： 科学家、教师和产业之间的信息传递 对会员和K-12教师进行教育，使其了解成为流行产品的及时科学发展 跨学科的考试（聚合物科学，制造工艺，性能测试）从几个行业（消费电子，乐器，电子显示器，高保真音频再现）。
