The energy at the Connect Digital Hub was electric as RCCR's FIRST robotics teams from across the city came together for a special meet-and-greet. From driving robots to sharing their big ideas for the future, our students loved meeting Dominique.

We are dreaming big for the 2026-2027 season. Our goal? To grow to 8 competitive FIRST robotics teams in Guelph. 🤩

We are currently looking for a home for our 6th FIRST LEGO League team. Does your elementary school or community organization want to lead the way in youth STEM? 🏫
