Our GEMS Workshops are aimed at providing girls with hands-on activities and experiences to keep them involved in STEM. Each month, GEMS will study the work of a renowned female scientist while engaging in hands-on lessons. GEMS is a free drop-off program that is fun, educational, and shows the numerous ways STEM topics can be pursued both in their future educations and as potential career pathways. If we support a young woman in STEM, then she can change the world.
Second Saturday of Each Month. Held at the Fort Walton Beach Library.
Workshops are free, but pre-registration is required so that there are enough materials. To register, please call the Fort Walton Beach Library at 850-833-9590 or visit their website.
