Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is hosting their first summer camp for girls focusing on math and science.
Dr. Detore-Nakamura, whose research examines elementary and middle school girls’ relationships with science and math, said the camp could have lasting effects.
“The GEMS camp is specifically beneficial because girls tend to lose their interest in math and science courses before middle school if they do not have any hands-on science- and math-related activities outside of the classroom,” she said. “The camp not only allows them to have fun, but it will also help them in their upcoming school years.”
