For Participants

Our Team Grant Program matches schools and organizations interested in adopting the world's largest and fastest-growing academic robotics competitions with the program resources necessary to get started. This unique program allows the RECF to provide the resources needed to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers.

The Industry Certifications program is a response to a global need for more students in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields. RECF provides industry certifications for students in engineering-related programs and robotics clubs. These certifications were designed by a team of accomplished professionals composed of engineers, college professors, and high school teachers.

RECF provides resources that can help students identify meaningful internship opportunities that put classroom and competition skills to use in today's workforce. Internships provide examples of what work in a particular field will be like and can help students build professional skills and network.

The RECF Alumni Association offers students an opportunity to begin networking, explore internships, and access career advice upon graduation. Students who stay connected are invited to participate in unique volunteer opportunities and reconnect with teammates. Graduates of the RECF programs who are 18 years of age or older are encouraged to be a part of a vibrant, interactive community of RECF program graduates. Sign Up today!

The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation seeks to increase student interest and involvement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by engaging students in hands-on, sustainable, and affordable curriculum-based robotics engineering programs.

Students participating in robotics competitions encounter “Inspiration All-Stars” each and every day. Some are teachers and mentors who work with individual teams to make a robotics program work. Others are volunteers who help make events happen. These individuals help students achieve goals that may have seemed out of reach. These all-stars show true leadership and dedication to the robotics community.
