# West Campus Pathways to Science Festivals

Through a series of mini-lectures, experiments, and demos, students learn nanotechnology, photochemistry, laser technology, and more. With a strong presence in three institutes at Yale’s West Campus, chemistry graduate students participate in the annual festivals.

> Opening labs to local students is important because it makes the idea of being a scientist much more real. I think it can be hard to imagine what a day-to-day in a field looks like until you can see it in action.
