hey, so there's this program from the new york academy of sciences for students from all over the world. it's called the 1000 Girls 1000 Futures, if you identify as female and the Junior Academy which is open to all genders. it is really interesting and fun to collaborate with STEM enthusiasts worldwide. applications are due at the end of the month i believe so if interested, check it out asap. hope this helps :)

Here are a few activities you could do:

- Start a chemistry club at your school that meets at lunch or after the school day is over

- Create a blog or YouTube channel about a topic in chemistry

- Conduct chemistry experiments at home

- Volunteer for a charity in a role that involves chemistry. Cleaning up pollution is an example

- Find a job or internship that involves chemistry. You could do this part-time during the school year or full-time during your summer break

Hope this helps!
