Re: District Wide Curriculum - Some emergency opinions

Our district actually has a 3 tiered system. While there is no "official class" at the elementary level, All of our feeder school have "robotics clubs" that use the NXT bricks to learn stuff, and one of them has an official FLL team.

Our middle school has a "Technology Career" class where they learn some basic electronics(servos and whatnot), and they construct miniature machines. They participate in the BEST competition.

Our high school is really layered.
Computer Science1 - Uses NXTs for part of the year
Computer Science2 - Uses FTC for part of the year
Robotics1 - Uses VEX & Participates in BEST
Robotics2 - Uses VEX & Participates in BEST
Robotics3 - Uses VEX & Participates in BEST
Robotics4 - Uses VEX & Participates in BEST
And then everyone who wants to participates in FTC.
