Beyond Boundaries

Providing Technology, Robotics, and Computer Science Education for the 21st Century and beyond.

Making Giant Leaps Possible

TRC Education makes giants leaps possible for students by providing Technology, Robotics, and Coding Education to build 21st-century digital age skills. TRC Education focuses on three primary learning domains: Technology, Robotics, and Computer Science (TRC) and our services aim to provide a competitive advantage to young students aiming to pursue technical careers.


In 2022, I launched a new learning center in our community, the Tennessee Robotics Center providing after-school learning opportunities for K-12 students. In 2023, I launched a second location near I-840 to reach more students near the west of Murfreesboro, Nashville, and Middle Tennessee.


In 2024, I laying the groundwork to launch our third location in Nashville depending on the economic conditions of our state and the ability to support the stable growth of our program.


What will our next Giant Leap be? God will lead the way and I will follow his direction.

A Persistent Pursuit

The pace of technology and change in today's fast-moving world requires a persistent pursuit of education to develop the knowledge and skills needed for using engineering and technology tools and principles. These skills enable educators to design, develop, prototype, deliver and assess authentic, learning experiences.


TRC Education enables and empowers students to learn beyond boundaries. My 5 year plan is to build a modern 21st-century learning center and an online STEAM learning program where students of all backgrounds and interests can learn, grow, and explore Technology, Robotics, and Coding education.


Educational areas of interest will continue to include: 


  • Engineering Design
  • Educational Technology (EdTech)
  • Robotics Engineering and Mechatronics
  • Cyber Education and Networking
  • Aerospace Education
  • Space Science Education

Forging the Next Giant Leap

Today, I am forging the next giant leap at TRC by building a 21st century learning center for students to engage with other like-minded students and experience the rigors and challenges of Technology, Robotics, and Coding activities using project-based learning.


Another area of interest is to help other teams and schools launch their robotics program by providing workshops, consulting, and resources to help build an engaging community.

Dare Mighty Things

This has become a core concept at TRC over the years and is something I say to my students. It was recently displayed as a decoder ring on the landing parachute of the Mars Perseverance Rover. Dare Mighty Things!


"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,…" 1


"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." 2
