Exclamation District Wide Curriculum - Some emergency opinions

Hi all -

I was recently contacted by people in my district who are interested in creating a district wide curriculum for robotics both in the middle and high school levels. I was given this information on Friday and have till Monday to have a proposal done (exciting, I know).

Here is what I am proposing. Please provide comments:

I am proposing a two pronged system: Curricular and Competitive.

On the one hand, I cannot find a good High School FIRST robotics based curriculum. With that in mind, I am proposing using Carnegie Melon's VEX Robotics Curriculum for High School and their NeXT Curriculum for Middle School. Along with this, I am proposing that we host a district wide Middle and High School competition using VEX and NeXT during the Spring Semester.

On the other hand, I believe in FIRST and their ability to inspire above most other competitive systems. With that in mind, I want to propose that we set up out-of-class teams with FLL in the Middle School level and FTC in the High School Level. Schools that want to go forward and engage a FRC team can do so, but I don't think that the district will be able to fund that expense.

Please provide any comments that you can.

Thanks.
