Inspiring Future STEM Leaders

For the past two years, Parents Challenge has offered a Girls STEM Camp that gives scholars hands-on exposure to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Girls explore STEM through interactive experiments, career assessments, and inspiring visits to organizations such as the U.S. Air Force Academy Planetarium, U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum, and Leonardo da Vinci Museum.
More than learning STEM skills, the camp helps girls discover their strengths, build confidence, and envision themselves pursuing STEM careers. Donor support makes these life-changing opportunities possible.

NSCW - 2026 Event - January 24 - Colorado springs event center

Parents Challenge partners annually with the National School Choice Awareness Foundation to connect families with educational opportunities and empower parents to make informed choices for their children.

Our 2026 School Fair, held January 24 at the Colorado Springs Event Center, brought together more than 80 schools, organizations, and community partners and welcomed over 1,200 attendees. Families explored public, private, charter, homeschool, and other educational options while connecting with resources, activities, and community organizations.

This event demonstrates what is possible when schools, businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders come together to put parents and students at the center of education.
