GEMS (Go Explore Math & Science) is a fun and exciting way for students in grades 5-8 to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Students pick their favorite subjects and then get their hands dirty in workshops designed to showcase how much fun it is to work in associated fields. Workshops are conducted by professors and local professionals and examples from previous years include making jewelry with DNA, conducting forensic investigations, hunting for gems and minerals, designing web pages…and many more!
