Why do so few women enter the lucrative and important field of engineering? One reason is that few women learn about it when they are girls. An exciting and effective program that will encourage girls to become engineers, scientists, and mathematicians is coming to Ohio. You can make sure that as many girls as possible get to participate in this program. By donating $10 or more to AAUW Tech Trek, you will support a week long camp in Bowling Green, Ohio, and introduce dozens of girls to engineering. The AAUW/Toledo Board encourages individual  members to respond to this request from Tech Trek at BGSU. For further information, contact Beth Pinheiro, Tech Trek Camp Director, Ohio,at 419-372-7824 or bpinhei@bgsu.edu Also see aauwoh.org/aauwoh/2013/01/08support…
