About
FEM STEM Bahamas is a youth-based nonprofit organization founded in The Bahamas in July 2019. We believe in providing high school girls with the fundamentals for self growth and career development- specifically in science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) fields. We are a female empowerment program focused on making opportunities accessible across The Bahamas. With the continuous shift forward in bridging the gender gap in STEM, this platform acts as a catalyst to take it one step further.
​
This happens through year-round initiatives and programs exposing girls between the ages of 13 -18 to the opportunities in STEM. Subsequently , promoting early engagement and academic success in STEM, and incubating a talented and diverse STEM workforce.
We believe all women can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
