Today we are excited to launch two new sites to support our community and teams across all RECF programs: our new RECF Forum and Q&A / Game Manual system. These two sites will help you connect with the community, start discussions around program content, and get clarification on items throughout the season. The RECF Forum is located at forum.recf.org. The Q&A / Game Manual site is located at games.recf.org. These sites will be the new unified fronts for content and discussion across all program offerings from RECF moving forward. You will need to register for an account at only one of the sites. We are excited to roll out a unified account that will soon allow you to use a single login across all of our RECF systems, beginning with our new sites launching today.

The RECF is grateful for coaches and educators like Omar Cortez and Patricia Cortez! We recently heard about all the ways their students are building confidence and strong communication skills in the Aerial Drone Competition, and we're thrilled to hear more folks are hearing from them at ISTE Orlando. ✨
