Hundreds of local students gathered in University Commons March 13-14 for the annual Olin-Yale-Bayer New Haven Public Schools Science Fair. Forty of the 65 mentors who helped guide the young scientists in creating their projects were Yale faculty and students, as were 39 of the 110 judges.

Brian Ramirez and Gloria Juarez, 8th-graders from John S. Martinez School, discuss their project with Professor Erin Lavik, one of the judges.
