Hi,

Team #399 has a robotics class, or at least did two years ago - since the instructor took another (very cool and exciting) job with NASA, I'm not sure if they were able to find another instructor for that course or not. This group has been fantastic helping other teams and I'm sure they would be very happy to talk about their robotics course with anyone who wanted to know - even if they don't still have it they still have the information on it. These guys are very organized and I'm sure they kept documentation in their archives. I'll check with Carol tomorrow to see for sure what the status is and post again.

Also Pocatello High School has a robotics class - they are a rookie team this year, one of only two in Idaho this year - I expect this team will be amazing this year! They've been working on becoming a FIRST team for quite a while - a lot of thought and planning was put into starting up this team and they have support from Idaho State University. Keep an eye on this team! I'm very excited they were able to become a FIRST team this year!

Roy High School, in Utah, was asked by their district to put together a plan for a robotics class next year. The instructor wanted my help with it, but I have no expertise in the area of educational plans and other 'stuff' that you've got to do when you're a teacher so I'll be watching this thread quite a bit and checking the white papers for curiculum ideas and other interesting tidbits. I'll also be talking to all the teams that currently have this kind of course offered at their high schools. I'm so happy to have a place to come to that we can find information like this. What a GREAT WEBSITE!

Thanks,

Pattie
