RECF Robotics, Aerial Drones or Arduino Courses

The introductory course in our ENGAGE robotics programs introduces students to the ENGAGE robotics structural pieces and demonstrates how they are used to build a sturdy robot. Students also learn to use the block programming language, enhancing their robotics education. In the advanced course, students explore various sensors available to aid the robot in its movements, similar to concepts covered in Arduino classes.

The RECF Achieve plactform utilizes bolts and nut fasteners instead of pin fasteners. In the introductory course, students explore RECF robotics programs, learning about the RECF building materials, motors, gear ratios, and RECF Code programming. In the advanced course, students delve into sensors and how they integrate with the overall system, complementing their robotics education, which can also include Arduino classes.

This program is designed for students interested in robotics education and eager to participate in the RECF Robotics Competition. Participants will review the 2026-2027 RECF Robotics competition manual, brainstorm, prototype, test, and build a robot capable of competing in qualifying competitions. Some travel to the Toronto area may be necessary for these competitions. Prior experience is advised, especially for those who have taken Arduino classes or are involved in RECF robotics programs.
