Tech Trek 2025 Looks Great!

We celebrated our 2024 Tech Trek Campers at our January 2025 General Meeting.

The Tech Trek curriculum is organized into Core Courses and Workshops. Both camp locations - Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter and Stetson University in DeLand - offer similar experiences to the campers who select their camp location based on the Core Course and Workshops offered.

This summer, Core Courses at Florida Atlantic University will be Qualcomm Wearable Tech, Structural Engineering, Neuroscience, and Marine Biology. At Stetson University, the Core Courses will be Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab, Marine Science, Forensic Science, and Environmental Science.

Workshops have been announced only for Florida Atlantic University. They will be Rube Goldberg Workshop, Fly Lab, Chemistry is Fun, Bullet Journals, Lingo Kits, Google Slides, ARM Loxahatchee Conservation and Archery, Energy 101 - Empower Yourself (FPL Robot), Makey Makey Music, Exercise Science and Group Fitness, and Genome Editing.

In addition to these experiences, both camps will host a professional STEM women's dinner. This has been one of the highlights for campers in the past as each table at the banquet was composed of a group of girls and a couple of STEM professional women.

On each university campus, campers will live in dorms, eat in the student cafeteria, and use the university's classrooms and labs for the Core Classes and Workshops.

Audra, a 2024 Tech Trek Camper, shared her thoughts about camp with us.
