The Mariposa branch of AAUW (The American Association of University Women) recently announced the selection of seven local girls to receive sponsorships to attend a one-week STEM camp at Fresno State University June 11-17, 2017. The camp is part of the AAUW Tech Trek program which encourages middle-school aged girls to find their passion for science, technology, engineering and math. The seven campers selected this year are Lupin Amstutz, Claire Cleary, Madeleine Coder, Lauren Elmore, Autumn Mangan, Ryan Ramirez, and Aya Westerling (pictured below).
AAUW TechTrekCampersThe Tech Trek camp is designed to expose girls to careers in high-paying STEM fields where women are currently underrepresented. The students live on campus to experience college dorm life and participate in hands-on activities emphasizing fun, problem solving and interactions with women in STEM careers. 

Mariposa AAUW has sponsored 82 camperships since 2000. The girls are selected based on teacher recommendations, an application and essay and personal interviews. The 2017 cost is $900, of which the candidates’ families are asked to contribute $50. AAUW raises funds for the camp fees through its annual yard sale, and the Evening in Paris cabaret in February.

The American Association of University Women is a national organization dedicated to lifelong learning and advancing equity for women and girls through advocacy, education, philanthropy and research.

The Mariposa branch has over 100 members who support local projects such as Tech Trek camp. Other programs include Dinner with a Scientist for high school girls at UC Merced, the high school Speech Trek contest and distribution of free backpacks. For more information visit AAUWMariposa.com.
