Girls Exploring Math and Science -- GEMS -- is an annual day of discovery for West Hawaii's fifth grade girls.

Through hands-on exhibits and workshops led by local professional women, students use math, science and technology in myriad ways to explore their worlds.

The program is designed to stimulate interest and bolster the confidence of girls in these traditionally male-dominated fields.
