Robotics Curriculum for use in gaining credit for participation in FIRST Robotics teams. Developed by FRC Team 931 and John E. Petsch, St. Louis Public Schools CTE Curriculum Specialist. Compliments of Team 931 Perpetual Chaos.
This course spans an entire school year with weekly meetings for planning and strategizing for the spring competition for FIRST Robotics (FRC) and the fall First Tech Challenge robotics (FTC) competition. The build season for FTC and FRC entails six weeks of daily meetings which often include weekend sessions to develop both a robot to meet current year game guidelines and the development of team components such as: promotion, travel, fund raising, programming, graphic design, team strategy, and community outreach. The program and course allow students to participate for all four years of high school, allowing students to protract into ever increasing levels of maturity and responsibility as they participate yearly.

Re: paper: Team Robotics: Curriculum by FRC 931
A very useful white paper and one that I will be reading very thoroughly. A community college in San Antonio just received a big grant from the Texas Workforce commission and one of the main deliverables from the grant is a HS course in robotics.
Question, (I've just started to view the ppt and word document) but your post mentions yearly participation. Does this mean that the course is repeated for credit for a total of four years or that this is an introductory course which prepares a student for many successful years of robot team experience?

Re: paper: Team Robotics: Curriculum by FRC 931
I'm not one of the authors of our team's curriculum. The authors are listed on Slide 3. Their principal coordinator was John Petsch. His email address is john.petsch@slps.org. John asked me to post the curriculum as a CD whitepaper, hoping that would bring it to the attention of more FIRST teams.
That said, my own understanding is that the curriculum is intended to handle robotics in much the same way that the music curriculum handles band; i.e., students get credit for participation every year and the standards by which their performance is evaluated evolve as they mature through the multi-year program.
