AEOP-GEMS

The AEOP website is currently offline, and GEMS’ social media channels are temporarily unmonitored. For any urgent inquiries or program-related questions, please contact us at armystemoutreach@gmail.com. Thank you for your patience.

We hope our GEMS Teachers are having a great school year!

GEMS’ mission is to interest young people, who might not otherwise give serious thought to becoming scientists or engineers, in STEM careers early enough that they have the time to attain the appropriate academic training.

Calling all 6-9 graders! Put the STEM skills you learned with GEMS to the test this year with @eCYBERMISSION, a free, virtual STEM program. Team up with your friends to tackle a community problem with science or engineering. Learn more and register at ecybermission.com.

GEMS students can learn a variety of STEM subjects, from medicine to robotics! 🤖

Remember and Honor ⭐

GEMS programs stretch from coast to coast, plus a virtual program for those that aren't near a GEMS site! 💻

Happy Labor Day! ✨

This summer has come to a close, but it's not goodbye, it's see you later! We hope to see all of our wonderful GEMS students and staff back for #GEMS2026. Keep an eye out for updates on when we'll begin opening applications! ✨

Doing STEM in the summer gives students a leg up once school starts. There are no interruptions in GEMS students' learning! 🧠

Thank you to all the Teachers and Near-Peer Mentors that made #GEMS2025 possible! 🎊

#GEMS2025 was one for the books! 📖 We hope you had an amazing time diving headfirst into STEM!

Good luck to all of our amazing GEMS participants who are headed back to school this month! 📚

Keep the STEM learning going after your GEMS camp ends with NSTA instructional materials at nsta.org/instructional-…!

Today’s youth don’t just have skills — they have STEM superpowers! Happy #UNYouthSkillsDay to the brilliant minds building a better tomorrow!

Happy Independence Day! 🎆
