Our story
A laboratory created to turn ideas into opportunities
RCR Innovative Labs ETS APS was established in Campagna, in the province of Salerno, in December 2024. The association brings together President Daniele Raimondo’s educational, technical and project-management experience and Vice President Nikolas Russo’s software expertise, connecting schools, local communities, research and the Third Sector.
Work in electronics, programming, wood and automation has grown into an ecosystem of laboratories devoted to Arduino, 3D printing, laser cutting, robotics, drones, artificial intelligence and environmental monitoring. RCR projects reached Maker Faire Rome in 2024, 2025 and 2026, received three regional “Cambiamo Aria” awards and opened new collaborations through eTwinning and Erasmus+.
Today RCR is a Third Sector Entity registered with RUNTS. It develops training, prototypes and national and international partnerships with a clear goal: making technology accessible, practical, sustainable and genuinely useful to people.
