What is GE2MCS
The GE2MCS program is aimed at increasing the
number of girls and women studying and entering
technical careers in engineering, mathematics,
and computer science.
It consists of day-long programs involving hands-on workshops for middle and high school students.
There is also a student and professional career panel , followed by a campus tour.
GE2MCS is designed for students as well as teachers and guidance counselors.
It All Adds Up
While the GEMS program's primary goal is to
excite girls and young women about technically
related fields, the program's secondary goal is to
raise the awareness of teachers, guidance counselors,
and parents of the study and career
options available for their daughters, so that they
can better facilitate those opportunities.
This program series will be repeated over the
course of five years to successfully track student
outcomes and build greater exposure for these
opportunities for students. |
