ECTC accepting applications for Pathfinder Academy

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College is inviting area students in grades six through ten to their annual Pathfinder Academy.

“It is a week-long academy with various classes,” said ECTC Director of Advanced Manufacturing Accelerator Project and Pathfinder Coordinator Eileen Worthington. “We have VEX Robotics, CAD, soldering, LEGO Robotics, culinary arts, sewing, and robotic automation.”

The academy runs June 9 through 13, with class sections divided by age.

“Registration ends on May 30,” Worthington said. “It’s a lot of new classes, so new programming, new technical things that students may not have done before, so some of it’s going to be new and interesting, and trying something new is what we’re trying to get a lot of students to do.”

Campers will also participate in financial literacy workshops.

Advanced registration is required with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit the Pathfinder Academy page on the ECTC website or contact Worthington (270-706-8712) for more information.
