GSMS

The West Virginia Governor's School for Mathematics and Science (GSMS) is a summer residential program providing academic enrichment in the areas of science and math for current 7th and 8th graders living in and attending school in West Virginia. 

West Virginia University and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank will be the sites for GSMS in 2010. 

Central research themes are chosen each year, and the enhancing activities broaden students' understanding of the role of scientific research in society. See About GSMS for a more comprehensive discussion of GSMS 2010. You may also browse the websites for the 2009 schools.

Governor Bob Wise is credited with the origin of GSMS, since he designated more than $400,000 of Inauguration surplus funds to start the endeavor. It continues through the efforts of the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts, the West Virginia Experimental Program to Stimulate Research (EPSCoR) and the West Virginia Department of Education.

 

Grab your hats as you start to navigate (logically and sequentially, of course) through the site. You could be setting yourself up for a memorable summer experience in the wonderful world of science and math.
