Donate to our 2025 Tech Trek Fundraiser!
Tech Trek is free to the girls who attend, to make this mind-expanding experience available to girls who would not otherwise have such an impactful learning opportunity. Participants are only asked to pay a $50 registration fee; the cost of the camp experience itself is paid by the AAUW branches who send girls and other donors, like you, who believe in the transformative value of the Tech Trek experience.
About Tech Trek
AAUW is a leader in the effort to interest more young girls in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Tech Trek camp is a week-long summer STEM camp for girls who are entering the eighth grade, held on two Florida college campuses.
The girls are nominated by their math or science teachers, write an essay about their interest in STEM, and after an interview process with our branch, campers are selected to attend Tech Trek.
At camp, the girls live in campus dorms, eat their meals in the student cafeteria, utilize university classrooms and labs for their core classes and workshops – such as Structural Engineering. Neuroscience and Marine Biology – and attend a professional STEM women’s dinner.
The Gainesville branch works hard to fundraise to cover the cost of Tech Trek for the girls from Alachua County. Families pay only a $50 fee to send a girl to camp so that girls from a wide range of backgrounds are able to attend.
