Challenge by Choice @ NIST

Our challenge-by-choice approach enables each student toachieve their own successful adventure in the context oftheir own aspirations free from peer or instructors pressure.

We have found during adventure activities, the greatestachievements are never in terms of the distance leapt or theheight climbed and that in all our adventure activitieseveryone has a role to play.

All challenges are age appropriate.
