Abstract
Contemporary pedagogical research emphasizes the necessity of outreach events to promote and foster science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. This is vital, both in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and worldwide. Here we describe the creation of ChemCarnival, an annual outreach event at the American University of Beirut (AUB) to encourage STEM enthusiasm in the Lebanese community.
