Learning Undefeated and the Caterpillar Foundation have partnered to bring a new immersive manufacturing careers experience to Texas high schools in the 2025/2026 school year. This program is free to schools.
Manufacture Your Path is a deep-impact learning program that equips students with knowledge and resources about high-demand careers and learn-and-earn opportunities in their community.
From the moment students enter this purpose-build immersive learning pod, students use game-based learning in a fast-paced challenge that builds critical thinking, communications, and problem-solving skills. Each class is facilitated by professional educators and lasts 35-45 minutes, so it integrates seamlessly into the school day.
What you'll get
- Schools will receive a one week long visit from the Breakout Box, an immersive learning environment that comes right to your parking lot.
- Inside the Breakout Box, students will compete and collaborate in the Manufacturing Challenge, an experience that builds manufacturing skills and introduces local career opportunities.
- All participants will gain access to our careers portal with information and resources about related events, internships, and more.
- Schools can also request in-classroom Manufacturing activities in conjunction with the Breakout Box visit as part of our MFG Classroom Activity Kits. For the 25/26 school year we will be offering the following in-class activities:
