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

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!

Flow Forms and TREA Launch Pilot to Digitize PD Requests for Rural Texas Districts
Rural school districts in Texas run leaner than most. A single secretary or curriculum director often handles workflows that larger districts split across an entire department. So when a process like a Professional Development Request moves through a building, the friction lands hard: a form gets walked from a teacher to a principal, sits on a desk, gets re-keyed somewhere downstream, and a week later somebody is asking where the approval went.
Flow Forms is partnering with the Texas Rural Education Association to do something about that.
