The American Association of University Women (AAUW), Riverside Branch, will welcome Sierra and Chemawa Middle School girls back from Tech Trek Camp at their Branch meeting at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2008. Eighth graders, Whitney Money and Danielle McDonald-Rogers, were selected from more that 80 applicants in Riverside Unified School District's middle schools. The girls will share their experiences from camp at University of California at San Diego at a brunch to raise funds for next year's scholarships.

Tech Trek, an AAUW state program, is a math/science camp designed to develop interests, excitement and self-confidence in young women who will enter eighth grade in the fall. It features hands-on activities in math, science and related fields. All sleeping, eating, instructional and recreational facilities are located on a university where the camps are held. Over 2,000 girls have attended Tech Trek since the first camp at Stanford University was held in 1998. This past summer camps were held at California State University at Fresno, Mills College, UC Santa Barbara, Whittier College, Stanford, and UC San Diego.
