GEMS
Gains in the Education of Mathematics and Science

Come join us to “Explore Weather, Climate, and the Environment”, at our GEMS Summer Program hosted by the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire.

We invite Middle School Students (6^th-8^th graders), for a week-long scientific exploration and hands-on approach to discover the weather, climate, and the environment in which we all live. Be prepared to dip into a stream to collect specimens for research, and in building your own wind turbine and microbial fuel cells.
