PVQA Effort Supports
Tech Trek Camp​​
Quilts for STEM
Finished Quilts Due June 30!!
The American Association of University Women sponsors an annual Tech Trek Camp to support young women and girls who have an interest in Science and Mathematics. The camp program was established in 1998. This is an uplifting and confidence building program that PVQA is proud to support. Activities aim to ignite interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by providing engaging projects and inspiring interactions with female role models. One of the workshops is Quilt Math! Finished quilts are due on June 30.​​​
PVQA members are making quilts for the campers, hoping that our quilts are a warm inspiration for interest in science, mathematics and, yes, quilting, too! If you want to join in, send a message to the organizers via the Webmanager contact on the Board page.
