Join the High Tekerz in their mission to inspire youth through engineering! As a dedicated team of future engineers and 2013 award winners, we aim to host a one-day Space Elevator Competition for children up to 8th grade. This event will tackle real-life engineering challenges while encouraging community involvement. We seek partnerships with local businesses for equipment and support from the Jubilee Days committee to make this an annual success. Let’s fuel dreams and create opportunities for tomorrow's innovators!
