Modern Teaching Aids Partners with RECF Australia for the 2026–2027 Season
ASTEM Incorporated is delighted to announce that Modern Teaching Aids (MTA) has officially partnered with RECF Australia for the 2026–2027 season, bringing together one of Australia’s leading educational resource suppliers with the world’s largest drone competition program.
For 70 years, Modern Teaching Aids (MTA) hasn’t just been supplying resources – they’ve been fuelling curiosity, creativity and innovation in classrooms across Australia. They bring together world-leading STEAM and digital technologies products, and if they can’t find the right solution, they create it. Their range is designed to support cross-curricular learning, helping educators connect ideas and create meaningful, real-world learning experiences.
“We’re thrilled to have MTA supporting RECF Australia this season,” said ASTEM First Officer Garry Law. “With growing interest from schools in the RECF Aerial Drone Competition, MTA is a natural partner to help us make high-quality drone education and competition opportunities even more accessible to Australian students.”
As part of the partnership, RECF teams across Australia can look forward to special discounts on MTA’s CoDrone range, adding even greater value to an already accessible and high-performance educational drone platform.
“At MTA, our goal is to provide practical, hands-on solutions that genuinely support educators,” said Ung-Min Lee, Category Manager for Educational Technologies. “This partnership ensures more Australian students can get hands-on with real-world drone technology and develop crucial skills in a fun, competitive environment.”
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to giving students meaningful opportunities to develop skills in drone technology, programming, engineering, teamwork and problem-solving through hands-on competition.
For ASTEM Incorporated, this partnership is another important step towards building a stronger and more accessible competition pathway for Australian schools and students.
Working with organisations such as Modern Teaching Aids, ASTEM is committed to delivering high-quality, well-supported and accessible robotics and drone competitions across Australia—giving more young people the opportunity to challenge themselves, represent their schools and communities, and experience STEM at its most exciting.
