District Wide Curriculum - Some emergency opinions

[Tristan Lall]

We need lots more information about the circumstances and objectives. You could start with demographics about the school district, the presence of alternative curricular/extracurricular activities, the labour situation in the schools, the funding available, the existing curriculum (especially deficiencies and motivation for making these changes), the school culture (e.g. attitudes toward competitive teams that aren't the football team ), who's spearheading the proposal (and how much political clout they have), the amount of expertise available in the school and community, etc..

Any particular reason to incorporate all of those programs? Each will have some amount of overhead that will be required to start up. Also, given that some programs overlap in focus, you might not be able to sustain critical masses of interested students if you're running both simultaneously. (FTC and VRC, for example.)

For an example of a curricular robotics program, see Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy.
