Gathering Genius, Inc.
Mission
Gathering Genius, Inc. (G² Inc.), was founded in 2006 to increase student interest, excellence, competitiveness, and participation in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields in the State of Nevada. To maintain our state and national competitiveness in the 21st century we will:
- Support and promote the 2009 Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) in the State of Nevada;
- Cultivate the skilled scientists and engineers needed to create tomorrow's innovations, to develop new technologies, to find new cures, and to research new frontiers;
- Motivate our students to study and enter science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers;
- Upgrade 9-12 mathematics and science teaching to foster student research;
- Build public support for making improvement in science, technology, engineering and mathematics performance a state and national priority.
Goals
- Host the International Science and Engineering Fair
- Increase state-wide student participation and competitiveness in science fairs
- Sponsor educational outreach leading up to and during the Intel ISEF
- Create an endowment to help support K-12 STEM education as well as future science fair participation
Post-fair legacy
G2 is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. After the Intel ISEF in 2009, G2 will use the remaining funds to enhance science education in Nevada, creating a post-fair legacy. G2 hopes to raise enough money to continue aiding and enhancing science fairs throughout Nevada and the nation, encouraging and enriching science education in the state.
