Tech Trek camp leads girls on path to STEM discoveries
Select local students got a once in a lifetime opportunity to participate in the American Association of University Women’s Tech Trek program. According to AAUW-Healdsburg (which serves, Windsor, Geyserville, Healdsburg and Cloverdale), “Tech Trek is a week-long residential summer camp for girls entering eighth grade. The focus is on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Begun in 1997, there are now 22 Tech Trek camps at universities across America, 10 of which are in California. The girls sent by AAUW-Healdsburg join about 70 girls from over 20 towns in Northern California to attend the camp at Stanford University.”
