Tech Trek Conference a Great Success!

165 middle school girls participated in 3 hands-on STEM workshops during the conference. Dr. Misty Davies (Associate Chief for Aeronautics Systems in the Intelligent Systems Division at NASA Ames Research Center) was the keynote speaker and inspired the audience. Two quotes from the participants about the conference are “I enjoyed the engaging classes and fun experiences” and “I liked being able to do science for a whole day”.
