Dogwood Elementary School and the Lockheed-Martin Corporation would like to invite you to be a presenter at this year's GEMS Conference, Girls Excelling in Math and Science, for fifth and sixth grade girls on Saturday, March 13, 2010. The event is from 8:00 am - 12:00 and will be held at Dogwood Elementary School in Reston, VA. We are seeking presenters to conduct three consecutive 45 minute, hands-on workshops, aiming at an audience of fifth and sixth grade girls. The goal is to inspire an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math fields in girls so that they will be interested in pursuing these studies in middle school, high school, and beyond. We ask that you spend a few minutes of each workshop describing your own career, education, and background while the remaining portion of the workshop is spent on a hands-on activity that will introduce the students to opportunities in and beyond school. We hope that you will join us again for a morning that will create new vistas for our children. It's sure to be an exciting event. Your time with us will be deeply appreciated and make a difference to the young women who attend. Please let me know as soon as you can, if you would be interested in joining us. ***********I need your response by 8 Feb. If you are planning to participate please respond via email. I will forward you some workshops that we have performed in the past as options. Also, if you have a new idea, I'd be pleased to learn more about it. Thank you all so much! Kind Regards,
