History:

Mole Day can be identified as an event that people often celebrate due to their interest in specific things. The day originated around the 1980s, when an article appeared in The Science Teacher. Later, a retired high school chemistry teacher Maurice Oehler from Wisconsin, USA, drew inspiration from the article and founded the National Mole Day Foundation. Many high schools in the United States, South Africa, Australia, and Canada mark Mole Day after May 15, 1991, when the foundation was set up. The objective is to make students interested in chemistry by directing several activities associated with moles and chemistry. The Foundation became a not-for-profit corporation in 1992 in the State of Wisconsin.
