FEMMES Duke University

Founded in 2006 by Vicki Weston, FEMMES (Females Excelling More in Math, Engineering and Science) is a student-led organization at Duke University that hosts educational outreach programs related to math, science, and engineering for 4th-6th grade girls in Durham, North Carolina. By incorporating engaging, hands-on activities into all of our programs, we allow the girls to learn in a fun, supportive environment and explore their potential in the STEM fields. We hope to build our participants’ confidence in their academic skills and to empower them to pursue their dreams.
