I'm curious, for teams that are getting credit for all their after school work -- do you have benchmarks? How do you keep track and grade "work" and do you have "midterms" and "finals"? Basically, what would you be able to show a curriculum coordinator that outlines the student's competence on the team? Mind you, I'm not well versed in everything that goes into actually creating curriculum, I'm just using what I've observed from high school.
Back in my first FVC team, Robotics was a class used for "extracurricular credit". Basically, it took the "9th block" in a schedule and showed up pass - fail on transcripts. I know a few FRC teams run like this as well. Shaker Robotics students can get community service credit for doing Chairman's related work on the team, for example
