The U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) at Fort Rucker hosted its annual Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science, or GEMS program, for its 15th year this summer. During GEMS, students grow their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills in a fast-paced, one-week immersion into hands-on experiments before they receive their recognition certificates during a Facebook Live ceremony.
“GEMS is an Army Educational Outreach Program STEM enrichment program for students,” explained Dr. Lori St. Onge, USAARL research administration manager who oversees USAARL’s STEM education outreach efforts. “GEMS takes place in U.S. Army laboratories and engineering centers to engage students in hands-on STEM experiments related to Army research and to inform students about Army STEM career pathways.”
