Six local incoming eighth-grade girls have learned how various types of science can be applied to real-life situations due to sponsorships by Rancho Bernardans. Selected by Rancho Bernardo AAUW to participate in this year’s Tech Trek were, front row from left, Jessica Tian, Kseniya Belsheva, Allison Finnecy and Allison Rasche. Back row, Kinley Williams and Piper Langer Weida. Allison Finnecy and Allison Rasche from Bernardo Heights Middle School in Rancho Bernardo, Kseniya Belsheva and Jessica Tian from Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch, and Piper Langer Weida and Kinley Williams from Twin Peaks Middle School in Poway were nominated by their teachers. They were selected after an application and interview process conducted by American Association of University Women Rancho Bernardo members. From June 24-30 the girls attended classes and lived in dorms at the University of California San Diego. AAUW, along with major donors Sony Electronics, Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary and Rancho Bernardo “Noon” Rotary, sponsored the girls.
