What is GEARS?

GEARS is a program designed to spark the interest of students who want to move into a career in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM).  
 
How does GEARS help students?
  • The students will earn how to develop their engineering, math, science and presentation skills
  • Students and teachers will stay together for four years and build a supportive peer and family like environment 
 
By the time a GEARS student graduates they will be able to:
  • Use computers to draw in 2D and 3D
  • Create animations
  • Build small scale structures and models
  • Program basic sensors, motors, and gear systems
  • Draw circuit diagrams and calculate voltage, current, and amperage
  • Research, design and produce product prototypes of their own creations
  • Give public presentations
  • And much more!
