Supporting the Next Generation of Scientists: Our Contribution to the 2025 Chemistry Olympiad

[MarisaBluestone]

Our company mission is to inspire what’s possible for every learner. It’s one of the many reasons we're proud to support the future of science education by sponsoring the 2025 U.S. National Chemistry Olympiad (USNCO), a prestigious competition that challenges and celebrates the nation’s brightest high school chemistry students.

Now in our fourth year supporting the Olympiad, we donated digital access to Biochemistry, 10th Edition and Quantitative Chemical Analysis to help equip the 20 students selected for the 2025 USNCO Study Camp. These college-level texts not only build a strong foundation in key concepts, but also reflect the latest research techniques and real-world relevance. Biochemistry 10e  offers a deep dive into physiological and medical connections, while Quantitative Chemical Analysis 11e represents the benchmark in analytical chemistry while seeking to inspire students to see themselves in the field.

“These gifted students are tackling college-level material as part of their preparation, and we’re honored that our course materials are playing a role in their journey. Supporting these rising scientists is exactly what our mission is all about: empowering learners, backing educators, and making sure every student has access to the tools they need to succeed,” said Jeff Howard, Program Director, Chemistry at Macmillan Learning.

The on-site camp is an intensive program held in early June where top high school chemistry students from across the country compete for a coveted spot on Team USA. The final team will go on to represent the United States at the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad in July.

To the competitors: we’re cheering you on. And to all educators and mentors guiding these students. You make this possible.
