GEM For Middle School Students
During this free, 10-day program, students explore mathematics outside of the standard school experience. Through challenging puzzles they build problem-solving skills, and through visits to Duke laboratories they meet women working in math, science and engineering.
Step Up to STEM For Rising Ninth Graders
We provide a day’s programming for a week-long residential summer experience sponsored by the North Carolina School of Science & Math. Interactive and interdisciplinary, Duke’s day focuses on exciting real-world subjects that challenge students and build skills in science, math, technology and communications.
