TRConstellation
Complete Course Descriptions and Key Learning Areas
"He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name." ~Psalm 147:4
Expanding the Constellation
TRC's Strategic Stars Mission Plan charts an ambitious course for expanding engineering education across Middle Tennessee, with three guiding stars illuminating our path toward impacting 3,000+ students annually by 2030. Like the stars in a constellation, each strategic element—Program Excellence, Geographics Expansion, TRCamp Innovation, Community Impact, and Operational Excellence—works in harmony to create a powerful educational network that will span from our Murfreesboro flagship to new learning centers based in Nashville and Franklin in the next few years. Through this Constellation of learning centers, we'll aim for the stars to deliver our comprehensive TRConstellation pathway, transforming curious students into confident engineers while building Tennessee's STEM pipeline with innovative summer camps, school partnerships, and industry connections. By following our Strategic Stars, TRC Education will evolve from a single bright point of excellence in Murfreesboro, TN into a brilliant constellation of learning centers across Middle Tennessee, each one launching students toward futures as innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders who will shape tomorrow's technology landscape and Dare Mighty Things.
Our 2030 Vision: Dare to Explore
To become Tennessee's premier K-12 engineering education network, operating multiple state-of-the-art learning centers that transform students into innovators through TRConstellation's comprehensive pathway, impacting 5,000+ students annually across Middle Tennessee by 2030.
Our Mission: DARE MIGHTY THINGS
To inspire the next generation to Dare Mighty Things through comprehensive engineering education in Technology, Robotics, and Computer Science, developing confident problem-solvers who will shape tomorrow's technology and make a positive impact on our world.
OUR LEARNING PROMISE: "Every mission builds a future engineer who dares mighty things."
This promise anchors every TRConstellation experience—from a student's first LEGO build in Discoverers through their final capstone project in Pathfinders. It speaks to who we are, what we do, and who our students become.
learning through the
power of play
Purposeful play draws on pedagogical strategies such as project-based learning, which have been shown to improve student learning outcomes while nurturing a love for learning. It encourages students to systematically explore, test out ideas, and continuously refine their methods.
