The GEMS Camp Pi Day Fundraiser!

Since 2010, The GEMS Camp has engaged hundreds of girls in Dallas, Texas in STEM. Our research-based holistic approach addresses risk factors that are barriers for traditionally undeserved and underrepresented subpopulations in STEM -- female minorities and/or those from low socio-economic backgrounds.

ABOUT PI DAY
It is a day to celebrate the mathematical constant pi (π) and to eat lots of pie. ...Celebrated in countries that follow the month/day (m/dd) date format, because the digits in the date, March 14 or 3/14, are the first three digits of π (3.14), Pi Day was founded by Physicist Larry Shaw in 1988.
