## What is The Periodic Table Project?

Always at the forefront of innovation, the University of Waterloo initiated a collaborative student-design project to celebrate 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry. Chem 13 News together with the Chemistry Department and the Faculty of Science encouraged chemistry educators and enthusiasts worldwide to adopt an element and artistically interpret that element to eventually be brought together in a mosaic of science and art. A year later, with the project complete, we have designs by chemistry students from all Canadian provinces and territories, 20 US states and 14 different countries. Each element captures a unique and creative spark but together they ignite a passion for chemistry.

### 5/5 — A mad dog

*2015-08-04, version 1.2*

Yep it's pre sick

### 2/5 — most inappropriate fan art ever

*2014-12-18, version 1.2*

Fan art has its uses. Like the card game Bohnanza - how cool is that fan art version with all the different drawings of the beans? But this is a periodic table... with fan art for each element. Yes. Really. Fan art COULD have enhanced a periodic table by, say, when you tap on a particular element, it brings up all the info for the element along with a drawing of its discovery or something else associated with the element that will help you remember and understand it. Instead, the whole table is covered with little hideous thumbnails of bad fan art instead of the atomic symbols, and the fan art is junk like the atomic symbol done with pipe cleaners. Who thought this was a good idea?!

### 5/5 — This is a pretty neat app
