Yes, I'd expect that would be a good learning experience.

Can I use programming created before kickoff to use the expansion boards?

R13
ROBOT elements created before Kickoff are not permitted. ROBOT elements, including software, that are designed before Kickoff are not permitted.
Exceptions include the following:
A. BUMPERS,
B. OPERATOR CONSOLE,
C. battery assemblies per R5-A, and
D. software and designs with source files publicly available prior to Kickoff.

Per 2014 R13D, you could not use the circuit, and you can only use the code if make your code publicly available.
These are the 2014 rules, the 2015 rules are going to be different (this rule has a good chance of remaining the same).
I'd recommend doing that still as it will be a worthwhile learning experience, and your learning will carry over to the build season.
