BEAM Goes to 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:

• 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!
