News, Resources, and Grant Opportunities from Robotics ECF

Please see the information below from Diana and our friends at RECF, Robotics Education Competition Foundation regarding drones/robotics competition information, grants, resources,  and other opportunities.  Please pass along as you see fit to other staff members and students.  
Happy July! Great things are happening here at the RECF! We’re fine tuning our RECFevents.org team registration and event posting system, and our new competition software will be released soon. We’ve also created a few new resources:
  • Games.recf.org has the game manuals, Q&A system, and scoring calculators for our robotics programs, and drones will be added there in August. 
  • Forum.recf.org hosts conversations with RECF staff and community members
  • Drones.recf.org provides a quick overview of our two drone programs, including game manual links


On July 11-15th, the RECF staff and many of our coaches and event partners will be in St. Louis for the RECF Drone and Robotics Summits. We’re looking forward to a week filled with learning and connecting with our communities. We can’t wait to share highlights, insights, and exciting updates with everyone during and after the event!

We are excited about what the future holds for teams, coaches and event partners, and we’re looking forward to a year of learning and growth. You find the July updates for all RECF programs in the RECF Library; visit this article for drone-focused content, and this article for robotics-focused content
We currently have High School team registration grants for robotics.
We also have ADC Team grants and ADC Pro team grants available for those of you that want to start teams.  There are a handful for returning ADC teams as well.  I recommend that you apply as soon as possible, as they run out quickly.
Last bit of good grant news is that we do have a limited number of Event Partner Grants for Achieve, ADC, and ADC Pro.  Please let me know if I can help you with these. 

As always, contact me with any questions or concerns. I’m happy to help!
