Tech Trek leads to STEM!

Valerie Armstrong, Tech Trek Coord., Sharifa Batts, Program Vice President 

Tech Trek is a unique opportunity for middle school girls to experience a week of college life while participating in hands-on STEM lessons and activities. We should be proud of our branch
for providing this opportunity to 100 deserving students since 1998. This would not have been possible without the generous donations from AAUW Long Beach members. The January 6th
meeting is our annual Tech Trek fundraiser, and we hope to raise enough money to send 12 students to camp at UCSB or Whittier College this summer. Tech Trek costs $1100 per camper.

Join us to celebrate Tech Trek campers, teachers, and volunteers on Saturday, January 6th at 11:00 am, following the 10:00 business meeting in room 0-2 at Long Beach City College.  A panel of former campers will talk about their experience and share what they learned. Attendees will also hear from branch member Stephanie Osorio, who taught Architecture at the Whittier College camp last summer. In addition, there will be a slide show of camp activities from  Whittier College and UC Santa Barbara.

For those who would like to donate to Tech Trek, checks should be made out to: AAUW – CA SPF with Tech Trek Long Beach on the memo line. By donating to the SPF fund, your donation will be tax deductible. Checks should be mailed to Tech Trek Treasurer Linda Patten at 19615 Jefferey Circle, Cerritos, CA 90703.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
Valerie Armstrong
