Nonprofit STEM education organization and Smithsonian Affiliate in Telluride that runs about a dozen summer camps for elementary and middle-school students. Sessions are topic-based and typically span several days: rocketry and space exploration, bridge engineering built with the Town of Telluride, roller coasters, invention, and a math camp for rising 4th-6th grade girls, with full-day options for rising 1st-6th graders. Camps are outdoor-focused, several are run jointly with Telluride Academy and the Ah Haa School, and registration for those collaborations goes through Telluride Academy.
