Abstract
Carrying out chemistry laboratory activities at high school level in Indonesia is achallenging task. Lack of equipment, chemicals, cost, and even worst no laboratoryinfrastructuresforce wet laboratory practicehardly exist in mosthigh schoolsin this country,especially at Lombok Island, West Nusa Tenggara province. This pilot project focused on incorporate computational chemistry as an alternative for chemistry laboratory work at high school level. It describes the effectiveness of computational chemistry software for replacing wet laboratorypractice. We have studied what topics are essential and what topics are studentstruggled with, chosen computational chemistry software and conducted teacher motivation survey. This project is promising and has a strong impact in the future but improving the current high school technology is a necessity.
