Middle school girls find role models in science, math, more
The Daily Astorian
TILLAMOOK — Sev-
eral North Coast girls recently
attended a American Associ-
ation of University Women
Tech Trek camp at Tillamook
Bay Community College.
Through hands-on problem
solving, a day trip and encoun-
ters with women role models
in science, technology, engi-
neering and math (STEM),
Tech Trek helps girls see their
futures while having fun.
One of the role models was
U.S. Air Force retired Lt. Col.
Ellen Silverman, who shared
her work experiences with
the Trekkers on professional
women’s night. She headed
up the Social Action Program
at England Air Force Base in
Alexandria, Louisiana.
The weeklong experien-
tial camp is designed to make
STEM exciting and accessi-
ble to girls in middle school,
the age when research shows
girls’ participation in these
fields drops. After attend-
ing the camp, many alum-
nae say they are less suscep-
tible to negative stereotypes
about women in STEM, and
more determined to achieve
in whatever career interests
them.
All campers are nomi-
nated by their seventh-grade
math and science teachers,
and selected by a commit-
tee. Thanks to sponsors and
donors, families pay only a
$50 fee to send a girl to camp.

Trek camps, go to http://bit.
