UC Davis Picnic Day 2025: Speech Science Booth!

We’ll be hosting our “Speech Science” booth at the Children’s Discovery Fair again this Picnic Day (April 12th) from 10:30am-1pm. This is a co-hosted booth with the Phonetics Lab and Language Learning Lab.

We will have spectrograms / waveforms that adults & kids could circle to learn about the components of speech, as well as sample experiments:

  • ‘Bot or Not’: try to determine if speakers were text-to-speech (TTS) or human voices
  • ‘Statistical Learning’: try to learn the new words from an alien language

Here are some pictures from last year’s event!
