AAUW Tech Trek

AAUW Tech Trek Tech Trek is a week-long science and math summer camp designed to develop rising 8th grade girls' interest, excitement, and self-confidence in STEM.

AAUW Tech Trek started in 1998 with one site in California and in 14 years has grown to 15 camps on thirteen college campuses across the country. Attending camp on a college or university campus helps girls — especially those whose parents may not have gone to college — to see themselves seeking higher education. The university campus experience gives girls a chance to think about the kinds of opportunities a college education can afford them. Camp field trips encourage maximum interaction and instruction in environments where STEM professionals work. Girls are immersed in a world in which they are empowered by their capabilities and encouraged to think about themselves not just as young women but also as future scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists.
