The camp provides a unique opportunity for middle school girls to experience college life while being immersed in hands-on STEM activities and interacting with female role models in STEM fields.
The AAUW Tech Trek Camp at the University of San Diego is an overnight STEM camp designed for middle school girls entering 8th grade. The program aims to foster interest, excitement, and self-confidence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Campers experience college life by living in dorms, eating in the cafeteria, and attending classes on a university campus. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on activities, workshops, and demonstrations across various STEM fields, exposing girls to diverse occupations and potential career paths. Participants engage in a week-long core class focused on a specific STEM subject, complemented by rotating labs for deeper exploration of individual specialties. The camp also includes interactions with women role models in STEM careers, inspiring speakers, and group activities with like-minded peers. Field trips to local STEM attractions or companies may also be part of the experience. The program strives to empower girls with a life-changing awareness of their personal potential and future opportunities in STEM.
Campers start their day in campus residence halls, attend a core STEM class, break for lunch, participate in two afternoon hands-on workshops, and have dinner, followed by evening workshops focused on future planning, social-emotional learning, and sessions with women STEM professionals.
This camp is ideal for middle school girls entering 8th grade who show promise in math, science, and/or technology and are interested in exploring STEM fields in a supportive, immersive college environment.
