At Chemours’ New Johnsonville manufacturing site in Tennessee, the 2025 Bring Your Child to Work Day offered a unique opportunity for young learners to explore the world of science and innovation. The event welcomed approximately 20 children and grandchildren of employees, ages 12 to 16, for a hands-on experience that showcased how titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is made and why it matters. Through interactive STEM activities, guided plant tours, and conversations with engineers and operators, students gained a deeper understanding of the essential role TiO₂ plays in everyday products like paints and plastics.

Participants engaged in interactive STEM activities, toured the plant with safety demonstrations, and joined Q&A sessions with engineers and operators — gaining insight into how Chemours transforms raw materials into essential ingredients found in everyday products.

“As a team, we wanted to ignite a passion for science and innovation while helping students connect with the important work their family members do every day,” said Rebekah Arnold, Senior Administrative Assistant at New Johnsonville. “It was a meaningful way to invest in the next generation and strengthen our ties to the community.”

The event reflects Chemours’ broader commitment to education, community engagement, and environmental stewardship. By opening its doors to young learners, the New Johnsonville site continues to foster a culture of pride, connection, and innovation — while showcasing the vital role of Ti-Pure™ TiO₂ in creating brighter, more durable materials for the world.
