Cobb County Library launched the pilot of their weekly technology and science workshop, "GEMS: Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science", in the Summer of 2014.  Targeted at young women in the 11 to 15 age group, participants enjoyed working on group projects learning about technology, developing mobile application games, and exploring coding among other activities. For additional information on the GEMS program see Tom Brooks' article "New GEMS Program a Hit This Summer!" posted August 22, 2014 at www.cobblibraryfoundation.org.


​"I really enjoyed working with the young ladies of GEMS.  I was impressed by the variety of activities Julia Huprich, GEMS program director, had incorporated into the program.  Anytime you can expose young people to coding, web development, and open source computing through fun activities, you make technology relevant to them and a lot more exciting." Linda Hutchinson
