Teens who are thinking about flying, engineering or public safety can spend a Monday afternoon asking questions of people who do those jobs. Wings Over the Rockies holds its College and Career Symposium: Aviation, Public Safety, and Engineering on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Exploration of Flight, its campus at Centennial Airport. The museum says the event is completely free to all.
The museum’s listing covers Colorado colleges and the degrees they offer, flight training requirements and classes, and networking with pilots, scientists and businesspeople. Workshops walk through college applications step by step, building a LinkedIn profile and mock interviews, and there is a chance to get a new headshot. Wings does not call this a homeschool program. It says the symposium caters to all ages and to anyone looking for university opportunities or jobs in aerospace, and the 2 p.m. start on a weekday makes it easy to fit into a homeschool high schooler’s day.
