This fall, we're Daring Mighty Things by rolling out Sphero's brand-new Blueprint Robotics program in the middle school labs for grades 6-8. It's the highly anticipated next-gen platform from the team at — and it's the kind of kit that turns kids who like robots into engineers who design them.
New classes. New competitions. New season.
Registration opens Friday. Take a look at Blueprint Robotics over the next few days — you're going to want first dibs on a seat.

Big news, TRC family — Fall 2026 registration opens this Friday.
We've put together what we think is our best schedule yet, and before we open registration, I want to share the survey results that shaped it. The days, the times, the new courses, the ones we kept — every piece of this came from your feedback. You're going to see your fingerprints all over the fall lineup.

Registration opens Friday morning.
One more thing — if you took the time to fill out our spring survey, you've earned a $25 registration coupon. We'll email codes to every respondent first thing Friday morning. Thank you for helping us build something better for the kids. It honestly means a lot.
Don't forget about TRCamp; we still have a few spots open.

Let's Engineer Mighty Things!

Big news for the TRC program —
On Wednesday, June 10, our FTC teams are heading to Smyrna to demo our robots at the Hunter Industrial Fan Center for Engineering Excellence, as part of Hunter Industrial's 10-year celebration.

This is our first Community Outreach event of the 2026-2027 FIRST Canopy Biobuzz season, and we couldn't be more excited. Our teams will be demonstrating exactly how they apply engineering fundamentals through hands-on robotics and programming at TRC — live demos, real robots, real code from the Decode season and the first reveal of our new GoBilda drive base design for the BioBuzz season.

Hunter Industrial's support of TRC reflects a real commitment to engineering education and workforce development right here in middle Tennessee, and we're grateful for their support.
Hunter recently shared a great blog post about our program — read it below:

What began as a few kids building LEGOs in a garage, has grown into one of Middle Tennessee’s most impactful hands‑on engineering education programs. Tennessee Robotics Center was founded after Michael Puckett’s oldest child asked to start a robotics club at a time when youth robotics opportun...

Amazing! By popular demand, we just filled up our first Artemis Mission Engineer Training camp session so I just added another one for the third camp week July 20-24. TRCamp is the highlight of my program year as we explore the Artemis Mission, building lunar rovers, 3D printing and just having a great time exploring robotics and engineering together. Register today! We still have room in many of our Drone camp programs too. Engineer Mighty Things!!!
