Our GEMS Workshops are aimed at providing girls with hands-on activities and experiences to keep them involved in STEM. Each month, GEMS will study the work of a renowned female scientist while engaging in hands-on lessons. GEMS is a free drop-off program that is fun, educational, and shows the numerous ways STEM topics can be pursued both in their future educations and as potential career pathways. If we support a young woman in STEM, then she can change the world.

October 9 Theme: Kizzmekia Corbett-Immunologist
-Germs are everywhere. We could say they’re nothing to sneeze at, but that would be a pretty lame joke. GEMS will learn how their immune system works, how their bodies fight off illnesses, and how immunologists like Kizzmekia Corbett advance the science of vaccines. Finish off the event by creating your own bacteria model!
-Kizzy, our Female Ball Python & Kizzmekia's namesake, will even be in attendance for workshop participants to meet.
