Western Washington University to Host Girls in Engineering, Math and Science (GEMS) Fair on May 30
Western Washington University Youth Programs invite families to join in
on a variety of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)
activities at their inaugural Girls in Engineering, Math and Science
(GEMS) Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, in the Academic
West building on Western’s campus.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is a great
opportunity to learn about careers in STEM while supporting young female
learners participating in Western’s Youth Programs this summer.

During the fair, there will be STEM demonstrations every 30 minutes,
including a presentation from astronaut Wendy Lawrence, a marine life
touch tank, robotics, a science photo booth and more. The GEMS Fair will
also feature a silent auction and prize table. All proceeds from the
auction will support young women participating in Western Youth Programs
this summer. Read more...
