Re: FRC Class Curriculum Help

Looking at the MA guidelines, it looks like we definitely could satisfy most of those requirements for an engineering class. But that definitely helps with giving the curriculum a more defined shape. Thanks nicholsjj!

As for getting school board members, the principal, and superintendent on board, I feel like that shouldn't be too hard as long as we follow those guidelines and really show how beneficial the class is. We recently gave the school committee a presentation on our team and our last two seasons and they were extremely impressed by us and FIRST as a whole. They said they were eager to help in any way possible so that seems like a good sign. Plus our school has recently been trying to emphasize engineering in the school with PLTW classes so I think this may just be the perfect time to ask.
