A celebration of Women's History Month was hosted by the Santa Monica Commission on the Status of Women on March 8. The theme of the event revolved around STEM.

AAUW CA Membership Director, Ginny Hatfield, and Beach Cities Tech Trek Chair, Terry Hays-Horner, represented AAUW CA and provided a display highlighting Tech Trek. 

Carol Holzgrafe, Tech Trek State Coordinator, announces the 2013 dates for most camps.

Whittier – June 16-22 

Two Tech Trek camps, Irvine and Stanford Hopper, were featured on the national CBS News recently. While the narrator neglected to mention the AAUW CA connection, plenty of viewers found their way to the Tech Trek website (www.aauw-techtrek.org) for information about our science and math camps and, in one happy case, to download the Donation Form. The video can be watched  from that site too.

Camp directors Amy Harbin, Jan Cook and Marie Wolbach worked with the video team and, in the case of Irvine, allowed them to film the girls in class and on a field trip. CBS looked for science camps for girls after three young women won the top three spots in the recent, first-ever, Google International Science Fair.
 

Tech Trek is proud to announce that the keynote speaker for their reunion will be Dr. Maria Klawe, President of Harvey Mudd College.  Dr. Klawe is a mathematician.

The Tech Trek reunion is April 10, 2011 from 2-5 pm at the Irvine Marriott Hotel. Registration for the reunion is available at www.aauw-techtrek.org.

Tech Trek camp directors met recently in Camarillo to discuss both the recently completed camps of 2010, successful every one!, and plan summer 2011 camps.

Beginning next summer, Tech Trek will have a 9^th camp, at U.C. Davis. Planning for this camp has been underway since February with Lisa Beauchamp of the Sacramento branch as camp director. She will be ably assisted by Deedee Hays also of the Sacramento branch. Stay tuned for further information.

Please join us for a reunion of all former Tech Trekkers, campers and staff members, on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at the San Ramon Marriott Hotel (near Walnut Creek and Danville) from 1 p.m., when registration begins, and ending at 6 p.m. 
 
This event is totally free but pre-registration is required. Online registration is available at www.aauw-techtrek.org 
 
We have arranged for exciting speakers and will offer breakout sessions for alumnae to mix and mingle, to meet old friends and make new ones, followed by refreshments.
 
If this event is successful, we will plan a similar event next year in Southern California at the AAUW CA convention for those who can't make it to San Ramon this time.

Please share this news with your Tech Trekker friends. The hotel is located at 2600 Bishop Drive, San Ramon, CA 94583.
 
See you there!
