On behalf of the Greater Akron Chamber, The Polymer Industry Cluster, and the Polymer Palooza planning committee, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your participation in Polymer Palooza 2025. This free, family-focused event would not have been possible without your engaging exhibits and hands-on learning stations!

Thanks to your enthusiasm and dedication, we reached 500 youth and adults!!!  Offering a fun-filled day while educating our community about polymers and STEM. Your presence sparked curiosity, inspired young minds, and reinforced how accessible and exciting science can be!

Engaging organizations, employers and vendors like you are at the heart of what makes Polymer Palooza a success! Your interactive exhibits grounded STEM concepts in real-world applications—empowering youth to envision themselves as future innovators. Events like this are vital to building local talent pipelines and reinforcing Akron’s reputation as a hub for science and industry.

We truly hope you’ll join us again next year—the experience wouldn’t be the same without your creativity and commitment!

Feel free to revisit the highlights and fun moments from the day here: Polymer Palooza 2025 Photos
