Do you have a daughter at HIMS who just can't get enough science?

GEMS may be for you! The Seattle Area chapter of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS-SA) is currently accepting applications for the 2007/2008 Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science (GEMS) program. GEMS is a science enrichment program for 7th and 8th grade girls currently attending a Seattle public school. The goal of the program is to encourage girls to maintain, and broaden their interest in science by providing mentoring, hands-on activities, field trips, and information pertaining to a variety of scientific fields. The program is free to students, but requires transportation to and from all events. Hands-on activities are held the 1st Tuesday of every month at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. (The first meeting will be Tuesday, November 6th.) Applications are due October 17th, 2007. They are available on the AWIS-SA website or by contacting Erica Lerer at (206)356-2503 or via e-mail.
