Re: Curriculum Design
The school district I teach in is implementing VEX into the middle school curriculum, but I dont' think there are any plans to implement at the high school at this time. This is partially due to the "sensitive" area of what department do you stick a "robotics course" into and who is teaching it, though that may be an issue with licensure in our state and not yours.

Clarification: At the middle school level robotics is part of Career and Technical Education and the students in 8th grade use VEX as part of that class, should they choose to take it. If my high school were to implement such a course, I am a Science teacher and the other Coach is a Math teacher, neither of us is licensed to teach CTE so somone else would have to teach it.

I would contact VEX and see what they can provide you.
