GIM and GRIP


The 7th Annual ‘Girls in the Middle’ conference and 2nd Annual 'Guys Reaching Incredible Potential' conference will take place on Friday, April 6, 2018 at Trinidad State Junior College from 9 am – 3 pm. GIM and GRIP are for the purpose of exposing students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades to Science, Math, Technology, Engineering and Technical Education careers. Students will participate in 1 large morning workshop presented by the Air Force Academy and 3 smaller workshops. In addition to the workshops, the day includes breakfast, lunch, and a t-shirt.  We have some AMAZING workshop presenters this year.   We know that the students are going to have a fabulous time with all the hands-on activities the presenters have planned. 

Students must pre-register for this event. There is a $5 registration fee. Registration opens Wednesday, March 7, 2018 and is open to the first 120 girls and 100 boys who register. Be quick to send in your students’ registration packets (registration form, registration fee, and photo waiver) when registration opens March 7, 2018 to get your students signed up for the event.   You can access the forms on our website http://trinidadstate.edu/gim-grip/ . Students are not guaranteed both interest categories he/she marks on the form.  However, we will try to place them in a workshop that matches one of their interest areas.

We will be accepting student and adult registrations via fax 719-846-5050 and email erin.comden@trinidadstate.edu, or drop off the registration packets to Laura Gowen at the TSJC campus in Berg 210. You can also mail them to TSJC Attn. Laura Gowen, Box 335, 600 Prospect St. Trinidad, CO 81082.  Please mail or drop off your registration fees for students ($5) and adults ($5) to Laura as well.  Checks can be made to TSJC with Girls in Middle in the Memo line.
