Southeastern Robert Noyce Conference: Dr. Demetrice Smith-Mutegi attended the Southeastern Robert Noyce Conference in Montgomery, Alabama with two of our GEMS (Growing Educators of Math & Science) scholarship recipients that are supported by a Noyce Grant from the National Science Foundation. During the conference, they were able to share preliminary outcomes and next steps for the GEMS program. They were also able to attend workshops and sessions, and they had opportunities to network with other Noyce grant recipients.
