Welcome
What is GEMS?
GEMS is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1993 with the objective of encouraging young girls to continue studying math and science throughout their school careers. Participant sign-up is available to girls in the fourth and fifth grades. The program is currently offered in the Loveland/Berthoud area schools.
What does GEMS do?
GEMS encourages our community’s elementary school age girls by providing exploration opportunities
in math and science. Some of our events include:
- Annual Exploration Seminar: A half day event in February/March offering career presentations and
hands-on workshops. - High School Senior Scholarship: Each year, a female high school senior in Loveland or Berthoud
pursuing math and/or science in college is chosen to receive a $1000 scholarship. - After-School Programs: Activities and tours hosted by role models from diverse career fields.
