by Maggie F, Third Year, Junior GEMS, or Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science, is an afterschool program dedicated to encouraging and strengthening passion for engineering, math, and science within girls by providing a positive representation of women interested in STEM and creating a supportive sisterhood. Moreover, GEMS helps girls understand possible STEM fields by providing opportunities to explore various fields. In 2017, GEMS was established at Richard Middle School here in Columbus, GA. The club helped encourage girls to explore STEM fields by working closely with their community, including tours of the labs at Columbus Water Works and Skype calls with female professionals at NASA. Over time, the GEMS club moved from Richard Middle School to Columbus High School. Now, the GEMS club operates out of Columbus High to encourage high school and middle school girls to explore STEM. The GEMS club has started several new initiatives designed to provide girls with various opportunities to explore STEM. Last year, GEMS and Build Brave Girls partnered to create various posters and in-person presentations that encourage Columbus High girls to take AP STEM classes. This initiative helped create a more than 30% increase in the number of girls enrolled in AP STEM. Moreover, the GEMS club has recently launched a podcast and YouTube channel. Both of these platforms allow GEMS to highlight the STEM community's achievements; specifically, these platforms make it easy for young girls to be inspired by successful women. Moreover, GEMS has launched a tool kit and middle school mentorships that make it easy for anyone to start their own GEMS club. Ultimately, GEMS is a diverse group of girls that share a love for STEM. This passion drives the GEMS club to make learning accessible to every girl, and it creates an environment where girls feel empowered to be themselves.
