Empowering Girls for Tech!

Ginny Baxter and Charlotte Joseph, Co- Presidents

AAUW of California member Marie Wolbach founded Tech Trek in 1998 with the help of an AAUW Community Action Grant. Today AAUW Tech Trek operates at 22 different sites around the nation. Through hands-on problem solving and encounters with women role models in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), AAUW Tech Trek helps girls see their futureswhile having nonstop fun. This one-week summer camp is backed by AAUW’s research and designed to make STEM fields exciting and accessible to girls in middle school — the age when girls’ participation in these fields statistically drops. For many girls, the week long camp sparks their curiosity and places them on a path toward success.

Learn more at the January branch meeting. Valerie Armstrong will offer a discussion on Tech Trek 2022.  We’ll hear from her and several TT grads who will share their impressions of this valuable AAAUW, LB branch program. Join us in person or via Zoom on Saturday, January 8.
