2025 Summer Cadathon
The 1727 REX Cadathon is designed to cultivate the skills needed to be successful on the team. It is made to challenge both new and recurring members in all subteams, encouraging them to learn new skills they wouldn’t usually during the school year. Members are divided into groups of 3, where each group member has a different skillset. The challenge will then be judged by qualified REX mentors.
