Girl's Science Investigations, Yale University

The mission of Girl's Science Investigations (GSI:New Haven) is to motivte, empower, and interst 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, GSI strives to close the gap in Science found between males and females today.
The topic is The Material World and our theme-based program visit will take place on Sat. November 13, from 9:00AM-2:00PM in the Sloane Physics Laboratory at the Yale University Dept. of Physics in New Haven, CT.
