NTEC is proud to sponsor the eighth annual Navajo Nation Girl Scouts STEM Camp, held this past weekend in Chinle. 🔬

More than 60 girls from across the Navajo Nation participated in the three-day camp at Chinle High School, taking part in hands-on STEM activities, leadership-building experiences and opportunities to connect with positive female role models.

This year’s camp included a morning run with Miss Navajo Nation 2025–2026 Camille Uentillie, an educational jeep tour through Canyon de Chelly, stargazing with Navajo constellations, archery, bike riding, rocket building and more. 🚀✨

Rezbotics teams had a strong showing at the FIRST Tech World Championships 🤖🏆, including a Tuba City team member being named one of ten national and ten international finalists for a FIRST leadership award.

Shiprock High School received the Judges’ Choice Award in their division for determination and improvement during the competition 🌟, an honor awarded to only about 3% of the 300+ teams at Worlds.

As Rezbotics prepares to submit for the Good Neighbor Award, one student’s story reminds us that this program is inspiring Navajo students to see new possibilities, work harder, reach higher, and achieve more than they thought possible. 🚀

Season Wrap-Up: Keeping Our Communities Warm! ❄️🔥

​As the winter season comes to a close, we want to take a moment to look back and say Ahe’hee’ (Thank you) to everyone who supported the NTEC Community Heating Resource Program (CHRP) this year!

​While the winter weather was unusually mild this time around, our mission to serve the Navajo Nation and our Hopi neighbors remained as strong as ever. Whether you visited us at the yard or received a delivery in your community, it was an honor to help keep your homes warm. 🏠✨

​Here is a look at what we accomplished together this season:
​Total Coal Distributed: 8,289 tons 🚛
​Yard Visitors: 5,151 families and individuals 🤝
​Bulk Deliveries: 130 deliveries made to 62 Navajo Chapters and 7 Hopi Villages! 📍

Celebrating Our Hardworking Team 🍲

To wrap up such a successful run, we celebrated with a special appreciation luncheon for our incredible CHRP workers! These are the folks out in the elements every day making sure the coal gets where it needs to go. It was a great time to refuel, share some laughs, and recognize their dedication to the community.

A Special Note of Gratitude 🙏

We also want to extend a very special thank you to Navajo Vice President Richelle Montoya for her kind words and encouragement. Your support means the world to our team and helps fuel our commitment to serving the people!
​We are incredibly proud of these results, but we’re even more proud of the resilience of our community. 🧡

Thank you for another successful season! Stay safe, stay warm, and we look forward to seeing you again next year. ⚒️✨
