Tech Trek STEM Camp for Middle School Girls is an AAUW California sponsored STEM camp for middle school girls who will enter eighth grade in the fall, and students are selected from local public schools based on teacher nominations, questionnaires, essays, and interviews. Tech Trek introduces students to career opportunities in STEM, and middle school girls attend the week-long camp on a college campus. Each summer, AAUW Morgan Hill sends 8 MHUSD 7th grade students to Tech Trek at UC Santa Cruz, and twelve campers participated in the 2021 virtual camp. Campers are asked to volunteer at AAUW Morgan Hill’s Wildflower Run fundraiser and give a brief presentation about what they learned at the annual Membership Brunch in September.
AAUW advances gender equity for women and girls through research, education, and advocacy. AAUW Morgan Hill has been sending girls to Tech Trek camp for over two decades, and the Morgan Hill Branch of AAUW was chartered in 1981. Branches raise funds to cover the cost of each girl’s attendance and select attendees from local public schools, and AAUW Morgan Hill’s Wildflower Run is a volunteer-run annual fundraiser that supports its philanthropic causes and enables the branch to send students to Tech Trek. AAUW Morgan Hill is recognized nationally as a five-star branch for the third consecutive year and is one of 54 AAUW branches, from over 1000 nationwide, recognized for aligning its work with the national 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.
