Welcome!

The mission of GSI is to motivate, empower, and interest middle school students 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.

It is a free program for students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade who are interested in learning more about science.

GSI was founded in 2007 as Girls’ Science Investigations to close the gender gap in science. All are welcome to attend and volunteer.
 

2024-2025 Sessions

Saturday, February 8, 2025 - The Robotic World

Have you ever wondered how a robot works? In this session, we will learn how to design, build, and program robots. We will also explore how robots fit into society, from the home to the medical field.

Saturday, September 21, 2024 - The World of Rockets

Blast off with physics to learn about the forces that make rockets fly! Build a spaghetti accelerometer, use balloons to test the power of thrust, and launch your own seltzer rockets. Discover the amazing world of rockets and the principles that power them.

Join us for hands-on experiments and take home projects that will amaze you! Snacks and lunch will be served. 

Students will have the opportunity to observe faculty run demonstrations, as well as, participate in hands-on experiments. Please email yale.pathways@yale.edu with any questions or concerns or to be added to the email list (please include the student’s name and current grade).

Inspiring the students of today to shape the science of tomorrow.
