“YYGS has had a tremendous impact in terms of inspiring my future career. I’ve always been confused regarding what I wanted to study, however, after experiencing first-hand the lectures and seminars from amazing Yale faculty and YYGS staff, I have been able to concentrate on my rightful path–researching genetics and terminal illnesses such as cancer.”

After attending various YYGS lectures and seminars featuring AI, robotics, and space science, I took the initiative to co-found a robotics club with the help of my physics teacher, Mr. Endale.  This club is designed to bring students from different backgrounds–beginner to advanced students– to formulate several models of robotic applications which they will work on throughout this year.
