# www.thenrc.org The National Robotics Challenge (NRC): As the longest-running robotics competition in the United States, the NRC provides a unique platform for students from 6th grade through graduate school to develop critical STEM skills through hands-on challenges. Unlike other competitions, the NRC emphasizes creative engineering and problem-solving by not requiring specific kits, encouraging students to find the best materials and equipment for a given problem. Participants engage in diverse contest categories, fostering teamwork, design thinking, and practical application of technology principles that are essential for future careers in manufacturing, robotics, and automation. ## Pages - [High School Awards](https://www.thenrc.org/high-school-awards0d09e309): Celebrate the winners of the High School Awards in robotics competitions.
