Rated 5.0 by TRC families
“My son just finished a week-long summer camp here, and he said it was the best camp ever. They taught him important life skills in addition to STEM lessons.”
“Best place for kiddos to learn STEM subjects. Coach Mike is fantastic.”
“Kids learning so much and loving it.”
“The club is great. My son loves the classes.”
TRCreator Labs
Skills-based labs for every level, K–12. Students design, build and code real robots, earn SuperSkills and move up by mastery, in a lab with kids their own age. Starts January 4, 2027.
Real robots. Real engineering.
Students work with LEGO SPIKE, Sphero Blueprint and indi, our own 3D-printed ASTRObot, CAD software and 3D printers. They plan in real engineering notebooks and follow the same design cycle working engineers use.
Progress you can see.
Lessons are sequenced so skills stack up from session to session. Every session ends with a capstone project students design, build and present, and families come in on capstone day to see what they made work.

NewTRC Online
Live, mentor-guided cohorts in robotics, CAD and space engineering, with build kits shipped to your door.
Your student is learning. But are they building?
Rigorous, hands-on STEM is hard to pull off at home. The equipment is expensive, the projects need real space and tools, and the kit gathers dust after one weekend. TRC gives students real lab equipment, real tools and coaches who have done the work themselves.
I started TRC in my garage to teach my own sons real engineering. One is an aerospace engineer now. Fifteen years later, TRC is here for yours.
