About GEMS
Each student will engage in numerous hours of academic enrichment in mathematics, science, and technology. The core curriculum has been developed by WSSU faculty in alignment with the North Carolina Middle School Mathematics and Science Common Core State Standards for middle and high school topics such as; Engineering, Environmental Science, Computer Design, and Robotics.
GEMS is divided into two main programs:
-A part-time program held during the school year that includes STEM based activities and math reviews.
-A non-residential 2 week-long summer camp includes activities on STEM topics and math reviews as well as an overnight field trip.
GEMS also partners with local schools to engage students with hands-on STEM activities.
Some of the activities will include:
-
Exciting STEM based activities and math reviews
-
Engaging hands-on activities with the use of cutting-edge technology
-
Informal learning experiences
-
And much, much more...
