FRC Class Curriculum Help

So team 4761 is coming into our 3rd year in existence (WOO!) and we've been thinking about creating an FRC/ Robotics class at our high school to help solidify this team/ program into our school and to give more students who have other time commitments a chance to be a part of our team and to experience this program. This being my last year, I also really want to help keep this team alive and growing after I graduate and I thought that a class would help with this. I wanted to be able to pitch the idea for the class this year before I graduate and get it incorporated into the school within the next year or two.

So I was wondering how other teams that have incorporated an FRC class at school have structured their curriculum to get students interested and involved with the team while making sure the class doesn't attract kids looking for an "easy A" but rather kids who are truly willing to put in the effort.

I do have a rough summary of a curriculum that I have in mind although it is a bit long. If anyone is willing to have a read let me know and I will post it.

Thanks,
Chirag
