MoleClues

MoleClues is the name of our Internet-based virtual venue directed to an audience between the ages of 10 and 18. The purpose is to inspire curiosity, spread knowledge, demonstrate ways to explain unusual phenomena as well as everyday events, and show how scientific discovery can be done.

Making Sense through Science

The philosophy behind the youth outreach activities of Molecular Frontiers is to introduce a feeling of empowerment from scientific understanding of the world - making sense of the world through science. Science is not impossible to understand or appreciate – Molecular Frontier will seek to introduce molecular phenomena in a context that is meaningful for teenagers. A high level of interactivity is desired.

Opening now!

The MoleClues Web site was launched on August 15 - please go to www.moleclues.org and check it out! A major update to the Web site will take place later in 2008. As soon as possible, Molecular Frontiers will offer versions of the Web site in translation in select major languages.
