Re: FRC as a credit bearing course

I know that in Volusia County Florida, they currently offer an academy at one school (Spruce Creek HS Academy for Information, Technology and Robotics [AITR]) that is specifically designed to be like FIRST and that they work in 6 week hexmesters. The lead mentor/teacher for team 2152 is writing the curriculum along with the Ford PAS Career Academy team with Ford NGL. This is why the team name will be changing slightly in the next year to add in "Driven by Ford". The students stay within the academy all day and only if they take an AP class offered during first block are they able to go outside the academy.

I cannot give specifics at this time on the curriculum because it is still being ironed out, as I'm fairly certain that this was the first year the academy was in this form. But during the 6 weeks of build season, that hexmester was specifically designed to be build season.
