Re: "FIRST in the Classroom" - a fall semester high school course
Team 932 from Tulsa, Oklahoma has a year round program based out of a purpose built facility at our school. Our physics and calculus teacher is the teams primary sponsor and due to the work rooms and classrooms being a separate wing students can work for as long as our mentors want to stay at school. For the future, our mentors are still trying to convince the school service center to allow the Robotics class to count for additional credits for involved individuals (For example: Programmers get a technical credit, animators get art/graphics design).
Oklahoma also has FIRST teams at technical schools around the state where students attend through concurrent enrollment and then participate with the technical school's facilities.
