As many of you know, our branch has been part of Tech Trek since the very beginning–26 years ago. A lot has changed over that time! Each year, our branch sends nine or ten girls for an unforgettable adventure. Twenty-six years ago, the cost was $500 per girl. Now is it $1200 for the full camp.
This year, estimated costs are as follows:
- $50 pays for a field trip for one girl
- $100 provides for a ½ day at camp
- $200 provides for a full day at camp
- $600 covers half of a scholarship
- $1200 awards a full scholarship
This fundraiser is critical to the success of LPD’s participation in this amazing program.
*Tech Trek is an experiential camp particularly designed to raise girls’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The program takes place on a university campus and features hands-on activities to develop interest, excitement and self-confidence in young women who are entering eighth grade. Experiences at the camp raise the girls’ awareness of STEM careers, along with helping to build a set of values and skills that equip them to be persistent learners in any sphere. Since 1998, the Tech Trek experience has been helping to provide the “spark” that encourages young women on a path towards education and success.
