Engineering Pathfinders
Challenger Colorado is excited to offer our Engineering Pathfinder Academy for summer 2025, providing students a platform to try a variety of engineering disciplines in a low-pressure format.
This camp is designed for students rising into grades 8, 9 or 10 who are serious about engineering. Activities will be rigorous and require focus and dedication. Students will be mentored and challenged to work solo and in teams to garner a general understanding of what engineers do on a daily basis. Each session culminates with a final project and successive sessions will challenge campers to apply skills gained throughout the week and each camp has its own set of physical takeaways.
- A parent meeting will be held on Thursday, May 15th at 5:30p at Challenger Colorado.
- Cell phones will be secured and unavailable during camp sessions.
- Early Bird registration opens March 15th | Regular registration begins May 1st
IMPORTANT! Camp sessions are successive. Some camps have prerequisite sessions.
