GEMS, Mid-GLAM camps ignite passion for materials science
For the first time since 2020, Get Excited About Materials Science (GEMS) and Middle-School Generation Learning About Materials (Mid-GLAM) summer camps returned to in-person, hosting 19 rising 10th through 12th-graders (GEMS) and 18 seventh and eighth-graders (Mid-GLAM) from Illinois, Michigan, Arkansas and even as far as Kazakhstan. Students enjoyed opportunities to think like material scientists, exploring how materials are put together, how they can be used and how they can be improved to better the world. Explore the the two STEM camps in the below photo gallery.

Inspiring the Next Generation
MatSE aims to inspire the next generation of materials scientists with outreach activities for middle and high schoolers and teachers. Tenth through 12th-graders are welcome to join our GEMS (Get Excited About Materials Science) Camp while 7th- through 9th-graders may attend our Mid-GLAM (Middle-School Generation Learning About Materials Science) Camp to explore the materials all around us while enhancing their STEM knowledge. Teachers won't want to miss our annual ASM Materials Camp for Teachers, where they can learn the latest and greatest in materials science and engineering and learn how to incorporate it into their classrooms. Explore which camp best serves you or your kiddo.
