BEAM Goes to Yale Splash

BEAM students go to Yale University for a day at Yale Splash. 

8th graders walk to class at Yale Splash

Every fall, BEAM heads to Yale for our favorite field trip of the year, Yale Splash!  Splash is a day where college students open the campus to students in grades 7-12, and the college students teach their younger peers college-like courses.  This year, students choose from classes including:

12th graders and Jeff at Yale
  • Mathematical Paradoxes
  • The Basics of Improv
  • Environmental Justice
  • Origami Workshop
  • Chemical Biology
  • Making a Robot
  • Decoding Language
  • Game Theory
  • Introductory French
  • College Admissions
  • Beatlemania
  • The Grid
  • Meditation
  • Foundations of Feminism in Medieval Text
  • The Reeb Foliation of the 3-Sphere
  • What makes a dinosaur a dinosaur?

After a busy day of class, students took a tour of campus and had dinner in Yale's historic colleges.  Many took an opportunity to sleep on the ride back to New York City after such a busy day!
