Summary
Middle School Science Teacher Coral Warren and Jane Owens reported that a small group of Pioneer Middle School girls attended a six-night, AAUW-supported Tech Trek camp where students stayed on a college campus, explored STEM careers and cited career night as a highlight.
Middle School Science Teacher Coral Warren, joined by Jane Owens, told the board about Tech Trek, a six-night camp supported by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) Olympia Division that seeks to increase girls' participation in STEM. "Participants stay on a college campus, explore STEM career paths, and engage in activities such as career night, which the Pioneer students who attended highlighted as a memorable experience," Warren said.
Warren and Owens described the program as a hands-on opportunity that exposed a small group of Pioneer Middle School girls to STEM career possibilities. The presentation did not include participant names or the number of students who attended; the board received the report as an informational item with no formal action recorded.
