Challenger Colorado is proud to have delivered its Teacher STEM Boot Camp for the past 15 years. This year, we are evolving the experience with a new format—breaking Boot Camp into focused sessions that dive deeper into the topics educators value most.
Meet Boot Camp Sprints!
In engineering, sprints divide complex projects into manageable segments, creating a consistent rhythm for development, feedback, and continuous improvement—an approach that closely mirrors effective teaching practices.
Our Sprints are designed to support that same process, equipping STEM-minded educators with practical training and intentional planning strategies. Whether you have dedicated time for science, technology, and engineering or are integrating STEM into an existing curriculum, these sessions will demonstrate how seamlessly STEM can enhance required content and actively engage students in meaningful, hands-on learning.
