What is GE²M^CS

The GE²M^CS program is aimed at increasing the number of girls and women studying and entering technical careers in engineering, mathematics, and computer science. This multi-faceted program combines day-long programs on Fridays including hands-on workshops for middle and high school students, with Saturday morning programs focusing on careers and mentors. The day-long programs are designed for students and are open to teachers and guidance counselors, while the Saturday sessions are geared towards students and parents.

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.
