The Tech Trek Camp, held at OSU Cascades provided STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) hands on activities and field trips for the 36 girls from 10 middle schools across Central Oregon. The group plans to offer another camp in 2018, and to double the number of girls served. Visit the Bend Branch web site at www.bend-or.aauw.net and the national website at www.aauw.org.
