AAUW Palm Springs Receives Anderson Children’s Foundation Grant for 2024 Tech Trek Stem Summer Camp Program

September 11, 2023

American Association of University Women (AAUW) Palm Springs received a grant from Anderson Children’s Foundation to help send local middle school Tech Trek Girls to 2024 STEM Summer Camp programs.

Anderson Children’s Foundation representatives Brianna Ulhorn and Diane Schlesinger presented AAUW Palm Springs president, Kathi Farber, AAUW grant writer Carol Marcuse, and AAUW co-vice president of fundraising, Gina Rotolo, with an $11,000 grant for the 2024 Tech Trek STEM Camp Program which will underwrite camp admission for 10 local girls to attend in-person and virtual camp sessions at state university programs.

The summer STEM Camp programs provides an incredible week of immersive learning for junior high school girls with focus in robotics, DNA, technology building programs and many more activities that foster a desire for further education within science, technology, and mathematics fields.

“We are thrilled to be able to secure this level of funding from a like-minded organization that is dedicated to serving youth in the Coachella Valley to kick-off our 2023-2024 AAUW Palm Springs season,” said Kathi Farber, president of AAUW Palm Springs. “We have set a local branch goal of raising $50,000 this year in order to facilitate much-needed educational opportunities for local girls who are interested in STEM careers. The Tech Trek STEM program provides key learning and skill development which we know has long-term impact on the lives and career opportunities for Coachella Valley girls.”
