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

April 12: Maria Agata Olech - Mycologist
Learning about mycology? I’m lichen the sound of that! This week, GEMS will take off on an expedition with Maria Agata Olech to ex-spore the diverse world of fungi. GEMS will head to the arctic to learn how certain species can survive in extreme environments. Like Olech, they’ll be able to identify a variety of mushrooms, lichens, and other fungi. We all have so mush room to learn and grow!
