The
Intersociety Polymer Education Council (IPEC) is a
non-profit organization of polymer-related professional
societies. IPEC promotes science education by encouraging
and facilitating the incorporation of polymer topics in K -
12 classrooms. In the few years since its inception, IPEC
has had a pronounced impact on science education in the
United States. Through its on-going Polymer Ambassador
program, more than 25, 000 teachers already have received
hands-on training in polymer topics. It has been estimated
that this has resulted in more than one million K - 12
students learning about polymers.
