TECH TREK 2022

The Ukiah AAUW Tech Trek Committee decided not to participate in Tech Trek this year
because it was unclear if California AAUW would be able to hold in person Tech Trek camps
this summer. Plus, the members of the committee were experiencing a lot of personal challenges at the time. However, we have told the California Tech Trek Director that we will be ready and able to find local girls to attend these wonderful camps next year in 2023. We welcome any members who want to join the committee to make this possible.

About Campers: All girls attend Tech Trek camps on scholarships provided by AAUW California branch members, working with participating public middle schools in their area.  Seventh grade science and/or math teachers at these schools recommend camper candidates who must then pass through an extensive qualification process that includes an application, an essay, and a personal interview.  Camp curriculum is targeted specifically at girls entering eighth grade.

AAUW branches are not always able to work with every local school, either because the principal, counselors and/or teachers choose not to, or because there are too many schools and too few scholarships available in the local area.

Organizations, unions, groups of teachers, etc. may become Tech Trek Partners by raising fund for a specific group of students.  Please contact Marie Pera at 707-485-8364 or principals at Pomolita and Eagle Peak Middle Schools.  Parents cannot provide a scholarship for their daughters and all campers must attend a participating California school.
