 REC Brochure
A comprehensive 2-year robotics program for applied STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Intelitek’s Robotics Engineering Curriculum (REC) is a two-year robotics program for applied science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
REC provides superior resources for both students and instructors, from award-winning hardware to teacher-friendly lesson guides, to take advantage of the full capabilities of the VEX robots. REC Curriculum for VEX robots was designed by educators to provide the students with the best knowledge and tools to become robot designers and creators in record time.

Built on the power of LearnMate™, intelitek’s e-learning platform, REC™ delivers comprehensive, standards-based instruction via hands-on activities and compelling online curriculum, all centered on three core features:
  • LearnMate curriculum with optional classroom LearnMate Management 
    System (LMS)
  • easyC® programming software
  • Vex™ Starter Kit with required accessories
 
  
 
The curriculum assumes no previous robotics knowledge, guiding students step-by-step through the lessons. When needed, help is never far away: glossaries, safety rules, and help files are available on each page.

 

Teachers have instant access to handouts, tips, suggestions, sample programs and detailed instructions for activities and projects; all included in the Teacher’s Guide.

 
 
 
 

Robotics is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Knowledge in robotics engineering requires a mix of backgrounds, including mechanical, electrical, and programming. Each 75 hour semester of REC mixes these disciplines together with hands-on activities to create a blended learning experience.
