Girls Engaged in Math and Science (GEMS) Workshops

The University of Illinois Student Chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) is holding a fourth series of our Girls Engaged in Math and Science (GEMS) workshops for 6th-9th grade girls this spring! Over the course of four consecutive Saturday afternoons, we will learn about several of the ways that math plays a role in art. These fun-filled workshops are self-contained, so students may register for as many sessions as they wish.

February 17: Tesselations
