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.
