BUILD IT. EARN IT. RIDE IT.
the what
Geared for middle school and high school aged kids, this 5-day (10 hour) STEM-based course, aligned with Colorado state standards, teaches participants about the bicycle as a simple machine—how it works, how to repair it and how to ride safely. Instructors place an emphasis on teaching valuable life skills along the way. Upon completion of the multi-session course, graduates receive their own bike, a new helmet, lock and tool kit.
the why
This fun, experiential program offers excellent instruction plus an exciting goal for every kid—to earn the bike they work on. The course uses STEM-based curriculum and a positive development approach to provide youth with the opportunity to learn and master the technical skills of building a bike and riding competently. Instructors also use this time to teach life skills such as leadership, responsibility and relationship-building. In the end, youth know they’ve earned their new bike through hard work, perseverance and follow-through.
