The trip was the result of a collaborative partnership and effort between the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC), Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, Wayne County School System, and Rayonier Advanced Manufacturing Materials. CEISMC provided high quality experiences, and Girl Scouts secured funding and partners to benefit from this STEM initiative. Girls and boys were able to participate in this unique opportunity.
"When we needed a STEM partner for this project, we naturally thought of CEISMC and Georgia Tech," said Casey Gainey, Membership Manager for Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia.
"This was the best field trip I have ever been on. I can't wait to come back. My students learned so much," said teacher Hannah Martin at the conclusion of the field trip.
