Our May 2025 event was focused on AAUW Tech Trek summer camps. We gathered the middle-school girls being sponsored by our branch to attend a Tech Trek camp (in-person or virtual) and engaged them in a STEM-related activity. They attend five schools, so this was a chance to meet one another. Here’s the smiling group, getting ready to create carmine red dye from cochineal insects. The activity was led by branch member, chemist Dr. Natalie McClure.
