Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) New club in Butte, Montana aims to nurture math, science in girls
Creating a homemade, overflowing, bubbling Lava Lamp in a cup sounds like great fun in or out of school.
That’s the kind of hands-on scientific experiments the newly formed GEMS club uses to build confidence in girls in grades 5 through 8.
Girls Excelling in Math and Science is a free club outside of school meant to draw in girls from that vulnerable age group when they are most impressionable.
"It’s something constructive for girls to do," said Pam Haxby-Cote, a co-founder with Ronda Coguill. "We want to develop young women, and it evolved into a math and science emphasis. That demographic is pivotal."
