Meet the campers and hear more about their experiences at our Membership Welcome Event on Sept 6. Here are a few gracious thank you notes we received, it sounds like each camper had a very memorable experience.

Thank you for the amazing opportunity to go to Tech Trek. I am so thankful and lucky to get to experience all of this hands on STEM work from the astronomy and stars through telescopes or the field trip I took to the water reservoir. I had an amazing time and am so appreciative.

From, Yani Lin 

Thank you for choosing me to go to Tech Trek. I had an amazing experience there. I made lots of friends, with girls who share an interest in STEM and level of intelligence as me. I also learned lots of things that I haven’t learned before. For example, I learned how to solder in the Flashlight Workshop. I also got to experience what it’s like to work in a crime scene as a forensics scientist in Forensics class. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to attend Tech Trek.

Sincerely, Liliane Vu

I don’t know exactly who you are, but based on what I’ve experienced here at Tech Trek, I basically indebted to you! At first I thought the email sent to me was a scam because never in a million years would I have thought to be selected for something like this. But here I am, thanks to you nonetheless. The things I’ve done here are so unique, like Ingenuity Night (the chants were super cool), or the coding thing (STEM Lingo?). (I’ve had so much fun!) You deserve a lot of recognition for the amount of effort you put in to help organize this thing. (I mean the selection process alone must’ve been so challenging!). But in a small thank you to you and your team for creating this experience, is this letter.

Lots of thanks.

Sincerely, Vanditha

2024 Tech Trek Campers

Tech Trek 2024 was another huge success! Our Tech Trek students are a very inspiring group of girls. Their poise, enthusiasm, and accomplishments made the selection process very challenging. Our branch sent six girls to Residential Camp at Sonoma State and two girls to Virtual Camp. Many thanks to Co-Coordinators, Cindy Alpert and Kathi Senti, and their team of readers/interviewers for leading this very important effort for our branch. Their dedication and commitment contributed to another successful year!
