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, and 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.Second Saturday of Each Month

February 8: Marilyn Hamilton – Engineer
Brace yourself as we roll into the exciting world of inventions and engineering with Marilyn Hamilton, the brilliant mind behind a groundbreaking lightweight wheelchair design! In this workshop, GEMS will think creatively, tackle fun problem-solving challenges, and innovate in ways that make a real difference in people’s lives, just like Hamilton. They will design their own device using cutting-edge technology while also exploring the science behind the use of these devices, our body’s movement, and how this technology can even be used in sports.
