GEM-SET stands for the Girls' Electronic Mentoring in Science, Engineering and Technology. This is a program designed to connect young girls in middle school and high school with professional women in the SET fields.

Much of the mentoring is done via an electronic list called GEM-SET Daily Digest that is mailed to all participants' e-mail address. The students and mentors exchange ideas about many topics. Most discussions focus on:

• SET classes, classroom problems, classroom successes
• SET education and career decisions
• Peer pressure and concerns about SET
• SET challenges faced by girls and women
• SET future opportunities such as scholarships and internships

Mentors and student members are also invited to optional field trips and special events co-sponsored by GEM-SET throughout the school year.
