Finding the right stem program shouldn't be hard

Your student is learning—but are they building?

Whether you're homeschooling with intention or supplementing what the classroom can't provide, you've noticed the same gap: rigorous, hands-on STEM is hard to come by.

The labs require expensive equipment. Trust me, I know! The engineering projects need space and tools. And physics? It's one thing to read about mechanics, forces and motion—it's another to build and code the robots that demonstrate them.

Maybe you've wondered: Is my student being challenged enough? Will they be ready for college-level expectations? What if all that curiosity and potential never gets the chance to grow into something real? You're not looking to replace what's working. You're looking for a partner who can add the piece that's been missing. Your student is ready for a challenge.

Let's help them discover it.

I know exactly how you feel

As a homeschool dad, I wanted to add something to my sons' education—rigorous, hands-on STEM that would stretch them in engineering, technology, and physics. The kind of challenge that would prepare them for college and open doors to careers with real options.

So I started teaching robotics in our garage. Other families who wanted the same thing joined us. That was 2011.

Today, TRC has grown into a community learning center where homeschool and community families connect, grow together, and encourage one another—while their students take on real engineering challenges. It's a place where young engineers discover what they're capable of and build the confidence they need to achieve it.

I built TRC because my family needed it. Our community needed it. Now it's here for yours.
