Tech Trek Update
Tech Trek is a week-long residential summer camp sponsored by AAUW-Florida and focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) for rising 8th grade girls. The intent of the program is to close the gender gap in STEM fields by making those fields exciting and accessible to young girls.
Good News! All 14 of our candidates were selected to attend Tech Trek this summer, and 13 have chosen to participate.
​
See our Blog to learn what our campers will be doing at Tech Trek in June.
Thank You...
​
...to the Friends of The Villages Library who made a significant donation to Tech Trek, doubling their funding from 2024 to send four girls to camp in 2025. We appreciate their generosity, which enables us to support rising 8th grade girls in their academic endeavors in STEM.
L-R: Branch co-President Jennifer and Tech Trek Coordinator Sue accept the symbolic check from Friends of The Villages Library President Judy and Vice President Gail .
