“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
