The organization sponsors two one week STEM camps for girls entering the 8th grade in the fall. Girls were nominated by Math and Science teachers. They applied, were interviewed and selected to attend camp. Each attended a 12 hour course such as robotics, engineering, marine biology, etc. They also attended 8 workshops, attended a panel discussion led by STEM career women. The girls lived in college dorms, ate in the cafeteria, and used campus classrooms and labs. Friday the girls visited a nearby STEM facility. The camp was free except for a small registration fee. 0 0 0 5 0 0 37048 48290 2950 3800 0 0 0 0 39998 52090 0 0 0 0 22370 43500 0 0 0 8434 83795 30804 127295 9194 -75205 163573 88368 0 0 163573 88368 AAUW has been a leader in the effort to interest more young girls in science, technology, engineering and math also known as STEM. The first summer Tech Trek camp was held on the campus of California's Stanford University in 1998. Now there are ten California camps and ten additional camps scattered around the United States. Our mission in Florida is to continue two camps every year thanks to very generous sponsors and supportive donors, families pay only a $50 fee to send a girl to STEM camp so that girls from a wide range of backgrounds are able to attend. 0 0 123405 0 52090 In 2023 we had two very successful on site camps with about the same number of girls at each camp. Girls who attended the camps were exposed to diverse career paths in the STEM fields and discovered how STEM impacted their daily lives. They participated in hands-on-activities that increased their learning and met female STEM role models of all ages. They met, became friends with, and worked with girls from other schools with similar interests. On some projects they worked in pairs to solve a problem, create something new or build an item such as a robot or a bridge. There were 4 morning core courses and 4 different workshops at each camp. Prior to camp each girls chose one 12 hour core course and one workshop per afternoon. The girls had a dinner with STEM professional women with moderated panel discussions from four different STEM fields. The girls had opportunities to ask questions of the women panelists. We offered a STEM field trip to further the understanding of how STEM improves our lives. 0 0 0 123405 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL X X Deborah A Nelson 5618185438 PO Box 126 Palm City FL 34991 X Patricia Ross Registered Agent 2 0 X 0 0 0 Bea Holt Board Member at Large 0 0 X 0 0 0 Virginia K Farace Vice President 1 0 X 0 0 0 Sue Z Slone Secretary 1 X 0 0 0 Deborah A Nelson Treasurer 3 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 48290 0 48290 3800 3800 0 0 3800 0 0 0 0 0 0 52090 3800 0 0 X 43500 43500 0 0 2086 2086 0 0 1908 0 1908 0 880 0 880 0 1590 1590 0 0 7749 7303 446 0 3180 2832 348 0 POSTAGE 357 49 308 0 FIELD TRIP 2196 2196 0 0 63849 63849 0 0 127295 123405 3890 0 163573 88368 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 163573 88368 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 163573 88368 0 0 0 0 163573 88368 163573 88368 -75205 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 134002 60505 60431 39998 52090 347026 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 134002 60505 60431 39998 52090 347026 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 347026 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 134002 60505 60431 39998 52090 347026 1 1 0 0 X 52090 0 0 0 0 0 52090 0 0 0 52090 127295 0 0 0 0 0 127295 0 0 0 127295 Form 990, Header, Line A Fiscal tax year Form 990, Header, Line B Director moved out of state and P O Box moved to Palm City from Jupiter for new Treasurer access.
