The mission of Girls’ Science Investigations is to motivate, empower, and interest girls in developing the skills they need to pursue careers in science. University students and professors act as mentors and provide a context for exploring and understanding the various disciplines of science through hands-on activities in a laboratory environment. Through student scientific-engagement and parental awareness, Girls’ Science Investigations strives to close the gap in science found between males and females today.
It is a free program for girls in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade who are interested in learning more about science. For 2022-2023 there will be one in-person session (9:00 am-1:30 pm).
Did you know you can’t hear anything in space? Do you know how your ear works to hear things? Have you ever wondered how sound travels through different materials before reaching our ears? Learn all about sound and its properties through activities with every day items like slinkies, salt, and rubber bands. There is a lot to know (and hear!) about sound!
Join us for hands-on experiments and take home projects that will amaze you! Snacks and lunch will be served. The mission of Girls’ Science Investigations is to motivate, empower, and interest girls in developing the skills they need to pursue careers in science.
Registration is currently closed for this session, please contact Richard Crouse (richard.crouse@yale.edu) with any questions or concerns or to be added to the email list (please include the student’s name and current grade).
