On February 25, the CLS participated in Penn State’s STEM Envision Career Day. CLS Graduate RA Clin Lai led a highly engaging workshop on statistical learning in infants, with support from CLS Assistant Director Frances Blanchette and Lab Manager Erica Hsieh. Thanks to Clin, Erica, Frances, and the young people who enthusiastically participated!
On April 12, approximately 100 students from high schools in Centre County visited Penn State for the CLS’s fourth annual Language and Linguistics Day. The students were exposed to the fields of linguistics and language science through hands-on activities and discussions on topics including linguistic diversity, language and thought, and the sounds of English. The day culminated in a linguistics competition and a team from State College High School took first prize.
