NTEC is proud to sponsor the eighth annual Navajo Nation Girl Scouts STEM Camp, held this past weekend in Chinle. 🔬

More than 60 girls from across the Navajo Nation participated in the three-day camp at Chinle High School, taking part in hands-on STEM activities, leadership-building experiences and opportunities to connect with positive female role models.

This year’s camp included a morning run with Miss Navajo Nation 2025–2026 Camille Uentillie, an educational jeep tour through Canyon de Chelly, stargazing with Navajo constellations, archery, bike riding, rocket building and more. 🚀✨

NTEC has proudly supported the camp since 2017 in partnership with the Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council and remains committed to empowering Navajo girls by encouraging confidence, critical thinking and future opportunities in STEM-related fields.

📣 Application deadline extended to May 22!

Rezbotics teams had a strong showing at the FIRST Tech World Championships 🤖🏆, including a Tuba City team member being named one of ten national and ten international finalists for a FIRST leadership award.

Shiprock High School received the Judges’ Choice Award in their division for determination and improvement during the competition 🌟, an honor awarded to only about 3% of the 300+ teams at Worlds.

As Rezbotics prepares to submit for the Good Neighbor Award, one student’s story reminds us that this program is inspiring Navajo students to see new possibilities, work harder, reach higher, and achieve more than they thought possible. 🚀
