About
Tech Trek STEM Camp for Middle School Girls includes hands-on build-it-yourself tech projects, interactive workshops, and core classes with practical applications in areas such as computer coding, cyber security, aerospace engineering, forensics, marine biology, and robotics. Campers also attend presentations by, and take part in discussions with, women working in science or math careers. Each student selects a core interest class in addition to participating in a variety of math, science, and technology activities.
• Ages: 12–13 years old
• Schedule: Selected students attend a one-week summer camp, starting Sunday afternoon and ending the following Friday.
Tech Trek STEM Camp for Middle School Girls is an AAUW California sponsored STEM camp that is designed to develop interest, excitement, and self-confidence in young women who will enter eighth grade in the fall. Each summer, AAUW Morgan Hill sends 8 MHUSD 7th grade students to Tech Trek, a summer STEM camp at UC Santa Cruz, and has been sending girls to Tech Trek camp for over two decades. Branches raise funds to cover the cost of each girl’s attendance, and students are selected from local public schools, with students from around the country attending camp on one of several college campuses.
In addition to camp attendance, AAUW Morgan Hill asks campers to volunteer at the annual Wildflower Run, a local fundraiser that enables the branch to send students to Tech Trek, and to give a brief presentation about what they learned at the annual Membership Brunch in September. AAUW Morgan Hill engages with the local community through Community Action Grants and sponsorship of branch participation in Leadership Morgan Hill, and actively supports Morgan Hill as an organization and through individual volunteers. AAUW advances gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy, and the Morgan Hill branch is recognized nationally as a five-star branch for the third consecutive year, one of only 54 AAUW branches from over 1000 nationwide to excel in all areas in aligning their work with this mission. The AAUW Morgan Hill Branch 2025–2026 elected board officers are President Krisse Boursier, Secretary Sheila Dunwoodie, Treasurer Karen George, Membership co-Chairs Pat Toombs and Sherrie Wren, and Programs Chair Maggie Leininger.
