The GEMS Camp


 

About

The GEMS Camp is a 501(c)3 founded by STEM educator Saki Milton to close the gender and racial gap in STEM studies and careers. Milton’s passion for mathematics, her love for serving at-risk youth, and witnessing and experiencing the disparity in STEM education quality in underserved and affluent schools led her to create a STEM camp for 7th-9th grade minority girls. Founded in 2010, The GEMS Camp is one of the few girl-centric organizations founded and led by a Black female STEM educator.

Since its inception in 2010, The GEMS Camp has evolved from a six-week Saturday camp serving 30 girls into four flagship week-long summer programs serving 500 girls in the North Texas region. The GEMS Camp was the recipient of the Million Women Mentors-TX Educational Organization Award by the Texas Girls Collaborative Project in December 2020.
