Sixty-six 7th and 8th grade girls came to ONU earlier this month for the College of Engineer's 22nd Camp GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math and Science).
The camp's focus is about careers in engineering, math and science. Activities in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, forensic science, mathematics, nursing, pharmacy and physics took place.
There was also an electrical safety demo by Dayton Power and Light, a motivational speaker, a talk on the upcoming eclipse and a session aboutt eye health and how to become an eye doctor.
