About TechTrek: Tech Trek is an exciting and engaging one-week summer camp for rising eighth-grade girls featuring hands-on science and technology classes, a fun and educational field trip, opportunities to meet inspiring women role models, and a unique college campus experience. The cost of Tech Trek camps are funded through grants and donations made to the American Association of University Women (AAUW).
Tech Trek gives girls a chance to solidify a successful relationship with STEM at a pivotal age when girls tend to shy away from these prestigious, high-paying fields. Post-camp evaluations and follow-up surveys have confirmed that Tech Trek Camps have a significant and positive effect on girls’ self-confidence, attitudes toward STEM, and pursuit of STEM academically and professionally.
The fourth annual Florida AAUW Tech Trek camp will be held at Palm Beach State College, Boca Raton, from June 12-18, 2016. Up to 60 girls will be accepted to the camp. It costs AAUW at least $1,000 per girl to conduct the camp. The branches of AAUW Florida have been fund raising for several months and have received commitments that will help us cover about 50% of our expenses. The efforts involved in Tech Trek are conducted by member volunteers, many who have full time jobs. Once we have secured required funding we will be able to concentrate all of our efforts on finalizing the details required to have a successful camp.
We are seeking donations to help us cover the costs for lodging, food, personnel stipends, classroom fees, equipment rental, field trip expenses, background checks, and camp materials. As AAUW is designated as a 501 C 3, all donations to the Tech Trek Fund are tax deductible. Beyond providing generous financial support, many of our collaborators find our camp-based volunteer opportunities rewarding.
