LEarning labs

TRClasses are aligned to three primary learning domains: Technology, Robotics, and Computer Science. Additionally, most classes are available for four primary age groups and learning goals:

• K-2 (Discovery)
• 3-5 (Exploration)
• 6-8 (Challenge)
• 9-12 (Engineering)

TRC has five learning labs, a team meeting space, and a GearShop:

1. Technology lab
2. Robotics lab
3. Computer/Cyber lab
4. Mechatronics lab
5. CAD lab
6. Engineering lab
7. Team meeting space
8. GearShop
9. Parent lounge

We are rebuilding our advanced mechatronics, CAD, and engineering labs this summer for our FTC teams, homeschool community, and workforce development programs launching this fall. The lab is currently under development for launch in Fall of 2024.

Every year, I select a three-word vision statement for my program to ignite inspiration in my students. For this year, our vision statement is "Dare to Explore," aimed at encouraging our students to courageously dive into the deep waters of Technology, Robotics, and Computer Science together.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

Let's Dare to Explore!

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 domain promotes computational thinking and basic programming by providing introductory coding courses in Blocks, Python, Javascript, and OnBot Java. An emphasis is placed on coding used in programming robots. We also teach coding using games such as Minecraft EDU and CodeCombat.
