GEMS. Girls Engaged
in Math & Science.
Congratulations
to 6th grade students Lucy and Marianne!! They applied for and have been accepted to
participate in a week long STEM camp this June at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. Lucy and Marianne will join other 6th and 7th
grade girls where they will learn about the science of computing, while at the
same time investigate the role that computers play in our food systems. During
this week, the girls will write simple programs that simulate garden growth,
solve lots of food-themed puzzles, meet computing and food experts in the
community, and be active, social, and simply have fun. We look forward to hearing
their stories and experiences. Again, congratulations!!
