From the ACS Spring Conference to the College Classroom: Real Stories of Aktiv Chemistry in Action

At ACS Spring 2026, our team met with students and educators who shared inspiring stories about how Aktiv Chemistry supports learning.

The Aktiv team recently had the pleasure of exhibiting at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring Conference in Atlanta—and what a week it was.

Between attending inspiring sessions on chemical education (including several led by instructors from the Aktiv community), snapping a must-have photo with the ACS mole mascot, and logging countless steps racing between the exhibit hall and meeting rooms, the energy was nonstop. We even made time to admire the ever-popular puppies in the wellness zone.

But what stood out most wasn’t on the official schedule.

The most meaningful part of the conference was the steady stream of students and educators who stopped by our booth to share their experiences using Aktiv Chemistry. These were far from passive remarks—they were thoughtful, enthusiastic stories about how Aktiv is reshaping the way many teach, learn and engage with chemistry.

These thoughtful conversations will help our team shape the future of Aktiv’s question types, assessment capabilities and feedback quality.

Hear firsthand how educators and students are using Aktiv Chemistry to:

Foster a genuine love for organic chemistry

Help students visualize and master complex reaction mechanisms

Quickly identify where students are struggling—and intervene in real time

Deliver more engaging, effective homework experiences

Give students the flexibility to complete assignments anytime, anywhere

These stories reflect a common theme: when students are actively engaged and instructors have better visibility into learning, outcomes improve—for everyone.
