Titration Teacher Challenge 2021


Can you titrate as well as your students? Here’s your chance to find out!

The RACI invites all Chemistry educators, Chemistry teachers and school/university laboratory technicians to take part in the Titration Teacher Challenge. This is an opportunity to encourage and mentor less experienced / new graduate Chemistry teachers and laboratory technicians at your institution to develop their Titration skills in their own laboratory environment.

Registrations for the Challenge are open now. Registrations close Friday 10 September 2021.

Entries need to submitted by 3pm Friday 24 September 2021.

  • Your results will remain confidential between yourself and the Titration Teacher Challenge Coordinator. No results will be published on the website.
  • Plaques and Certificates will be awarded.
  • This is not a competition and is not designed to encourage competition amongst teachers and laboratory technicians. 

Awards

  • All entries will receive a Certificate of Participation
  • Entries obtaining a result of Excellent Standard will receive a certificate recognising their achievement.
