Module 1 for Electrical might be Wire Gauges, and Module 2 might be Soldering, and so forth.

Has any team does something similar to this? If so, is it something they are willing to share?

Thank you.
There's a ton of presentations from SRS on the GoFIRST website. You may also try emailing those who presented or those who will present at MN Splash. Some of these aren't exactly what you're looking for, but there's still a ton of info that can be adapted to suit your needs.

Outside of that, it probably isn't in time for your needs (and you may consider it too far), but River Rendezvous down in St. Peter will have a bunch of presentations from basics to more advanced subjects in mid-November (don't worry it doesn't interfere with your MRI event!). A side idea: you could try getting teams to do some learning-based presentations there-- it's quite beneficial down in St. Peter, and the worst that could happen is nobody goes to them. Just an idea though.

My team has been working on something similar (except it's blended into our fall-build event), and I'll be happy to share those when we're done.
