FEMMES Capstone is a free program for 4th-6th grade students that will be taking place on February 21, from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. The day includes a keynote speaker who explains her role in her particular STEM field and the path that led her to that role, followed by two morning activities, lunch, two afternoon activities, and closing remarks. Each hands-on activity is designed and led by female faculty members, female graduate students, and STEM undergraduate female organizations. Participants are placed in groups of 12-15 girls led by two undergraduate or graduate student volunteers who guide the participants through four different activities held in the engineering, science, math, and laboratory buildings at Duke. They will be sending out more information about signing up to register for the Capstone Day within the next two weeks.
