At True Robotics, we’re always looking for ways to make our curriculum more engaging, accessible, and impactful for both educators and students. Our team has been hard at work refining our K–8 curriculum to reflect the latest educational standards and advancements in robotics learning. We’re thrilled to share the newest updates that will make this school year even more exciting!

Taking Off with Pilot Expands to Grades 3–5
We’re excited to announce that Taking Off with Pilot now includes Grade 3, officially making it a Grades 3–5 curriculum. Extending Pilot down to third grade just made sense—and now you have two great options for your third graders: Treads or Pilot, depending on what best fits your district’s progression.

What’s New Across All of our programs
To ensure educators and students have everything they need for success, we’ve introduced several enhancements across our K–8 curriculum suite:
Enhanced program challenges to deepen engagement and stretch student problem-solving skills
Updated tutorials and videos aligned with the most recent software updates
Integrated online simulation for flexible, interactive learning—perfect for blended or remote settings
New professional development resources covering the latest features, so teachers feel confident and supported
Curriculum updates that reflect current standards and best practices
Google Slide compatibility for all curricula, making it easier than ever to integrate into classrooms

Looking Ahead
These updates are designed to strengthen the learning journey from elementary through middle school, ensuring students encounter fresh challenges and opportunities for growth every year. Whether your students are just starting with Treads or diving deeper into advanced challenges with Pilot or Axle, True Robotics provides a complete STEM pathway to success.
We can’t wait to see how your students grow with these new updates. Take a look at our improved curriculum portal to explore everything that’s new—and don’t forget to share your robotics classroom moments with us. We love celebrating your students’ creativity, teamwork, and achievements!
