Family Science Night
Family Science Nights are held from October to January at targeted New Haven elementary schools and are focused on hands-on, inquiry-based learning for children grades 3-5 and their parents. Family Science Night is dedicated to the enrichment of science education by increasing family awareness and involvement. This is an evening of exploration of scientific principles that are presented by local STEM students. The aim is to demonstrate the process of scientific inquiry to both students and their families.
New Haven Science Fair
The New Haven Public Schools Science Fair Program is an amazing opportunity for students interested in STEM to work with children and teachers from PreK through grade 12. The teachers work with the students to investigate hands-on science fair projects in order to promote skills in critical thinking, scientific process, and communication.
Young Women in Bio
Young Women In Bio (YWIB) gives girls today the inspiration and support they need to become tomorrow’s leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). We strive to provide education and hands-on experience in STEM, as well as share our passion for all scientific fields. The YWIB-CT leadership team is looking for volunteers to support our efforts.
