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

December 13: Dr. Emily Taylor- Herpetologist
Explore the slithery side of science in this fang-tastic workshop all about snakes, venom, and the incredible ways animals survive in the wild! Girls will learn about Dr. Emily Taylor, a real-life snake scientist who studies rattlesnakes and how venom works. GEMS will take on the role of herpetologists as they investigate real-world snake mysteries, build their own rattlers, and act out survival strategies in a venomous world.
