We want to help young people prepare for future success.

Red River College’s Technology Exploration Camps are designed to give middle school students a real taste of various engineering technology-related disciplines.

The TEC experience is an excellent way for young people to obtain valuable future career information, while discovering new and exciting ways to apply their science and mathematics skills. Participants enjoy seamless learning in a safe and entertaining atmosphere.

We know that women can succeed in technology, too.

Technology careers are equally suited to both women and men. We’re working to strengthen the perception that girls can succeed in math and science-related disciplines as well as boys. TEC employs both female and male instructors to act as positive role models and to demonstrate that technology careers are not gender exclusive.

We understand that each camper has differing interests.

TEC@RRC offers two five-day camp modules. Each week contains similar activities and allows the opportunity to explore three different disciplines: civil, electrical and mechanical engineering.
