Tech Trek summer camp is over for our girls and they have written wonderful thank you notes that you should enjoy.
Dear Branch of Riverside AAUW,
Thank you so very much for this amazing opportunity to learn and go into more depth in math and science. I a m having a lot of fun at camp. At first, I was a little upset about getting exercise science for my core class, but I found it was really interesting and I love it. The “mini classes” are cool because they are educational but they also make it exciting. For example, we made chocolate ice cream with liquid nitrogen (I got to stir! It was really cool!) and making bridge designs was an awesome experience. But, one of the most energetic activities was Zumba (it was so much fun). I especially love the fieldtrips to both sea camp and Viasat. I also found meeting all the different women from an array of different careers exciting. Tech Trek has opened my eyes to these careers and a whole new world of math and science. This wonderful and inspiring event is one I will always remember! Thanks to you!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Perez

Dear Riverside Branch,
There are no words to express how thankful I am that you gave me this opportunity. This trip has been incredible. It changed my life and has opened ideas to what I want to be when I am older. I’ve made friends because of you and these friends are incredible.
Thank you!

Dear AAUW Riverside Branch,
Thank you so much for sending me to this amazing camp! Not only was the experience fun and exciting, but it was also the best learning opportunity I’ve had in my lifetime.
During my time at Tech Trek I have participated in many exciting activities. Some of these would include forensic class, mini classes/experiments, field trips (such as sea camp), dorm life, the beautiful campus, and new fields (especially Ariel). All of these aspects contributed to my wonderful time there.
My absolute favorite activity was my core class. In forensics we studied fingerprints, blood spatter, and crime scene investigation. The best experiment in this class was the blood splatter chamber. While in the chamber you were given the choice of a hammer or a bat to beat sponges drenched in cow’s blood. There was blood everywhere!
Once again, I really appreciate your graciousness in bringing me to Tech Trek when so many other applicants could have come in my place.
Sincerely,
Audrey Dunn

Dear Riverside AAUW Branch,
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to Tech Trek! Tech Trek was the BEST camp I have ever been too. During my time there I was able to make a lifetime of memories with my roommates and dorm mother. I was able to make a shark tooth necklace, dissect a fish, and a squid, and even make a tie-die fish print. This is what has sparked the flame in my to want to become a marine biologist. I want to be a future AAUW member and help kids do what I did!
Love,
Rachael Newhall
