Re: Help!!! Question With Robotics Classes At School..?
Students on Wildstang petitioned the school board to make the FRC program a credit class many years ago. They agreed if certain conditions were met. Among those conditions was the need to have grade standards so everyone knew how grades were to be determined. There needed to be a formal class time each week throughout the year, not just during build and competition. And there needed to be a formal class curriculum with homework.
Wildstang students (now from three different schools in the district) must register for the class through their counselor, attend classes in both semesters and participate in team activites. Throughout the fall the students will learn machine safety, participate in team building, learn basics on each of the team sub teams and participate in a robotic challenge using Vex hardware and a challenge made up by the mentors. The grade is applied to the overall GPA so students need to do well. Students wishing to travel or participate as pit crew must maintain higher grades, and pit crew must maintain an A in robotics just to be considered for that post.
