This summer, Wright Lab hosted a week-long program from July 27 to 31 for a cohort of middle school students from New Haven and surrounding towns called Summer Explorations in Robotics, Programming, Science, and Technology. Participants learned to assemble and program robots and 3D print parts; learned about the science of the Universe; and attended physics demonstrations by Yale scientists.

The English Department mourns the passing of John Crowley, a brilliant, profoundly original writer who was dedicated member of Creative Writing faculty in an important phase of the program’s development.
