Metalcasting to 5th, 6th Graders Eighty-fi ve fi fth and sixth grade girls were given a
metalcasting presentation on Feb. 7, as part of Illinois High School District 211’s Fifth Annual GEMS (Girls in Engi- neering, Math and Science) Conference. T e goal of GEMS events is to educate girls about
careers in those fi elds and introduce them to female role models from the diff erent industries. To demonstrate the basic concepts of metalcasting and what takes place in a metalcasting facility, AFS gave the popular Foundry-in-a-Box demonstration to the partici- pants. Each participant poured her own metal casting to take home as a keepsake from their experience. Eight AFS employees—Laura Moreno, Sue T omas,
Laura Kasch, Valerie Stramaglia, Katie Matticks, Jennifer Head, Shelly Dutler and Jennifer Morton—all helped facili- tate the demonstrations at the 2015 GEMS conference at James B. Conant High School, Hoff man Estates, Ill. Other GEMS presenters included women from the
American Chemical Society, Kraft Foods, and Women Leaders in Action.
