Eight girls from Nevada County recently returned from their one week experience at AAUW-CA's Tech Trek. This program was started over ten years ago as an activity to encourage young girls to go into the STEM subjects - Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Our girls were fortunate to go to the inaugural session at UC-Davis this year. One of our members, Martha Rees, served as a dorm mother. Although she did not have our girls in her group, she did see them throughout the week. Some of her comments are on the Tech Trek page of the AAUW Nevada County Branch website.

Each year the girls return with such enthusiasm and confidence; we are truly fortunate to be able to support this wonderful opportunity for them.
