CEC Douglas County North was recently one of five charter school campuses to secure $95,000 in funding from CDOT’s Aviation Workforce Development grant in partnership with CrewConcept, helping to formalize aviation career pathways for students. Through these partnerships, CEC successfully uses drone soccer robotics teams to spark student interest and foster a love for flight and space exploration.
“Our students and coaches are excited to have this opportunity to learn relevant skills and compete representing CEC DC North,” says Keshia Medellin, Head of School. “We are excited to rally around our team and make this an activity that brings our community together.”
