Yes! TEC REC Clubs complement existing curricula by reinforcing STEM concepts through hands-on activities.

Some activities may require adult guidance, while others can be done independently or in groups with minimal oversight.

TEC REC Club is flexible and can be offered as an after-school club, lunch break activity, or even integrated into the school day in lessons.

Many projects use common household or classroom items, though some may benefit from basic tech tools depending on the activity. We suggest viewing the requirements for each project individually.

TEC REC Clubs are generally geared for ages 7 - 14 years.

The program is accessible to students of all learning styles, as we use many formats, such as games, projects, informative videos, and experiments to expose students to topics that can spark their interest.
