The AAUW Florida Supporting Foundation has as its purpose support for projects of the American Association of University Women of Florida. The main project at present is Tech Trek, a week-long STEM camp for middle school girls. We have recently added a second camp to the first one. Unfortunately we were unable to hold the camps this year due to the coronavirus, but plans are underway to hold special camps next year for those who missed this year, as well as the two 2021 camps. The Supporting Foundation offers the opportunity for people and companies to support Tech Trek, and future projects, with tax-deductible contributions.
AAUW FL Supporting Foundation, Inc provides an opportunity for middle school girls to attend a one week residential STEM camp on a college campus. Girls are nominated by their science or math teacher in order to be considered for camp. After applying, girls are interviewed by their local AAUW branch and ranked for consideration. The one week camp consists of girls from across the state of Florida. This week of camp is provided to the girls for free. They must only pay a $50 registration fee. Past campers praise this experience as a once in a life time opportunity to meet girls with similar interests and explore their interests in STEM.
