Inman GEMS is an all girls science and math club that meets weekly to perform exciting science experiments. Every week brings new activities, from swabbing the school for bacteria to dissections to building model structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. We even volunteer in our community and have adventurous field trips.

First GEMS meeting!
The first GEMS meeting was a great success. We had 34 GEMS girls, two teachers from Inman, two professors from Georgia Tech, two Georgia Tech students and even an exchange student from Germany at the meeting.
We learned about designing things and how to figure out the important properties so that we can make better (more quantitative) decisions about what product to buy. We looked at pencils and make up brushes. In some cases, our qualitative choice did not match the one that we choose using quantitative measures.
Enjoy these pictures and join us on Tuesday in Ms. Price's room!

Being able to recognize the features and benefits when comparing consumer products can help you save money and make educated purchases that you can feel good about. Glad to see these young ladies are starting early! Shana A King - makeup brush designer.
