The TRE Systems provides a much needed solution to the increasing problem involving students interested in technical subjects, such as Computer Science and Physics. We address this issue at the source, the student's early academic experiences in middle and high school, where exposure to technical subjects is limited due to their cost and the nature of secondary institutions. TRE provides a transparent system through which students can interact with robots located in the classroom or in a remote lab. Most importantly, TRE Provides an abstracted environment, allowing the creation of different modules for different functionality based on student experience and the content being taught or exposed. This makes the system versatile enough for primary school students to solve a maze, or high school students to discover the physical representation of a derivative. We describe the architecture, the goals and an initial experiment of the TRE platform.
