The ESD Girls in Engineering Academy(GEA) aims to improve academic achievement and interest in engineering among girls.
Each year, GEA selects up to 40 new applications for rising sixth grade middle school girls to participate in a year-long learning program. GEA continues each year, building upon the concepts they learn through their previous GEA courses to create a strong engineering foundation.
The summer experience engages students over a four-week period, from 9 a.m.–4 p.m., Monday–Friday. The GEA academic year program meets two Saturdays a month October through May for three-hour sessions.
