WWU Youth Programs will hold its inaugural Girls in Engineering, Math and Science (GEMS) Fair from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, in Academic Instructional Center West on Western Washington University's Bellingham campus.

This free event will feature the following activities:

• Demos by Western's Chemistry Club, Astronaut Wendy Lawrence, and Western's Women in Physics Club
• Silent auction to support young ladies attending Western's summer youth programs
• Tables with information and activities from WWU clubs and local Bellingham organizations
