TRClass
Transform your student's afternoons into engineering adventures that inspire, challenge,
and prepare them for tomorrow's opportunities.
Welcome to TRC
Where Future Engineers Launch Their Journey
The Tennessee Robotics Center provides comprehensive K-12 engineering education through our signature TRConstellation program—a complete pathway that transforms curious students into confident innovators. Our mission-based curriculum delivers hands-on learning in robotics, engineering, computer science, and emerging technologies, preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow's world.
Your Mission Awaits
From our youngest Discoverers (K-2) exploring foundational concepts to our elite Pathfinders (9-12) tackling high school-level engineering challenges, every student finds their place in the TRConstellation.
Our structured missions—Discoverers, Explorers, Challengers, Specialists, and Pathfinders—provide age-appropriate challenges that build technical mastery, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving skills. Students earn mission badges, advance through recognition levels, and develop portfolios that set them apart in college admissions and STEM careers.
Program Schedule
TRConstellation classes meet on Mondays and Thursdays, with additional Advanced Mission workshops and competition team practices throughout the fall, winter, and spring terms.
Our learning center in Murfreesboro provides state-of-the-art equipment, dedicated project spaces, and an environment where young engineers thrive alongside peers who share their passion for innovation.
Dare Mighty Things
At Tennessee Robotics Center, we believe in challenging students to reach beyond their perceived limits. Through rigorous project-based learning, industry-aligned curriculum, and mentorship from experienced engineers, we're not just teaching STEM—we're launching the next generation of innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders.

Our Primary Learning Domains
Technology
TRC Technology learning domain covers fundamental concepts in engineering technology including 3D printing, 3D design (CAD), engineering mechanics, electronics, pneumatics, engineering design, prototyping, aeronautics, and many more engineering technology topics integrated throughout our programs.
Robotics
TRC Robotics learning domain covers designing and building autonomous and driver-controlled robots. Classes include robotics discovery, exploration, challenge and engineering. TRC robotics classes provide students with an in-depth look at the mechanics, electronics, and programming to design and build high-tech robotics.
Computer science
TRC Computer Science learning domain promotes computational thinking and basic programming by providing introductory coding courses in Blocks, Python and OnBot Java. An emphasis is placed on coding that students will use in programming FLL and FTC robots. We also teach coding using games such as Minecraft EDU and Codementum.
