AAUW sending Tahoe girls to STEM event

American Association of University Women, South Lake Tahoe branch recently awarded three sponsorships to a weeklong STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) focused Tech Trek Camp on the UC Davis campus in July.

Winners are Kyla Schrauben, Daniela Bonilla, and Evelyn Bennett. All three girls are from South Tahoe Middle School, with an alternate, Mia Roper, chosen from Whittell. 

These girls who are entering eighth grade in September were nominated by their science/math teachers and selected following a personal interview. Girls will live in a dormitory, eat at the dining commons, and attend workshops in one of five fields: anatomy/physiology, genetics, engineering, 3-D math, and coding express.
