Chicago Branch is planning its second GEMS-Great Experiences in Math and Science workshop for February or March 2009 and are looking for volunteers to help plan the event as well as work the day of the event. Please contact Pat Newton-Curran if you would like to be on the committee. Newton@itt.edu
GEMS is a career conference for all middle school students in grades 6-8 and their parents/guardians. Students will participate in the morning-long program designed to encourage young girls to take an interest in math, science and engineering. Professionals will be presenting their careers emphasizing mathematics, science & technology. Although women make up about 50 percent of the general work force in the U.S., they only represent 9 percent of workers in the science and engineering community said the conference was started to inspire girls to continue studies in the fields of math, science and technology.
