Let's Get Technical

Day-Long GE²M^CS

Middle school students and high school students chosen by their teachers or guidance counselors will visit the Sage College of Albany campus for a day and engage in age-appropriate hands-on workshops in engineering, mathematics, and computer science.

Teachers and guidance counselors will participate in workshops and discussion forums on the issue of gender in the classroom, current topics in teaching these subjects, and the programs of study in these areas available at Sage.

All GEMS participants will also interact with SMaRT Women. SMaRT stands for Science, Mathematics, Research, and Technology, and is made up of young women attending Russell Sage College and pursuing degrees in fields such as engineering, mathematics, computer science, biology, chemistry and forensic science. These students make wonderful role models for middle and high school girls.

Between morning sessions, panelists will discuss the variety of careers that require engineering, mathematics and computer science coursework. The women panelists, including Russell Sage College alumnae, will share their experiences navigating the transition from high school, to college, to the working world.

The day will wrap up with a tour of the picturesque Sage College of Albany campus.
