The TECH TREK PROJECT – Week-long camps for rising 7th grade girls are held at 22 different sites around the nation, with eight residential sites in California and also available virtually during each summer. The California camps are a project of AAUW California. Members of our branch have enthusiastically supported the camps for many years.
The project actually began in 1997 as the inspiration of Marie Wolbach, a member of the Silicon Valley and Mid-Peninsula branches. As a member of the AAUW California board, she sought a grant from the AAUW Fund to begin the project, which has grown beyond her dreams. She is currently Founding Director for Tech Trek STEM Camps for Girls at AAUW California, and has been awarded the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Gold Medal for Public Service Benefitting Local Communities (June 2015) for her work with Tech Trek.
Here’s an overview video of past Tech Trek camps.
