Over 220 elementary, middle, and high school teams from the following parishes/counties have registered for the competition: Bossier, Caddo, Lincoln, Livingston, Natchitoches, Richland, Webster, and West Feliciana Parishes and Union County, Arkansas.  
RARC is a series of three cyber and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competitions for students in grades 3-12. The competitions build upon one another and allow teams to showcase their cyber, STEM, and 21^st century skills by competing against other teams within their division.  Liberal arts lessons are also integrated to provide a context for the content. The competitions are sponsored by the Cyber Innovation Center’s National Integrated Cyber Education Research Center (NICERC), the City of Bossier City, Sci-Port: Louisiana’s Science Center, Bossier Parish Schools, and Caddo Parish Schools.

The theme for the 2015-2016 RARC competitions is Exploring the Wonders of the World.  The challenges require the teams to crisscross a competition mat that resembles a world map, learn about the Wonders of the World, and accomplish tasks related to each wonder.
