Yale Pathways to Science

Local students and families had a thrilling time at the Yale Physics’ Haunted Hallway and Spooky Demo Show!🎃✨

With hands-on demos led by physicists, participants were able to explore giant pendulums, mysterious sounds, electricity, the mysteries of levitation, and even witness safe explosions!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable night of spooky science, and a huge thank you to the Yale Physics Department! 👻

Rewinding to last spring, Yale Funbotics hosted a six-session workshop where students built robots in teams guided by undergraduate mentors!

The series taught core engineering skills, team building, critical thinking, and problem-solving while having FUN! At the end of the program, students and their robots faced off in a cone-stacking competition while their peers and parents cheered them on 🤖🏅

Stay tuned for our recap of this semester's Funbotics camp, which has its competition on November 17th!

Throwback to the STEM Mentors College Essay Workshop from earlier this semester!📖✏️ 

Although writing college essays can be a daunting task, the Yale Graduate Student volunteers helped make the process easier by looking over essay drafts through one-on-one workshopping and supporting the incredible effort that goes into crafting a college essay!

Last month, over 300 of our newest Pathways Scholars gathered in Woolsey Hall so we could welcome them as the newest members of Yale's scientific community🌟🎉🔬🧪

They learned about the STEM opportunities available to them on campus with four Yale scientists who shared their own pathway to science and current research📚📝

Stay on the lookout for more posts highlighting our amazing students, instructors, and volunteers!
