I know it's late. Please consider the Boy Scouts of America Robotics Merit Badge Book. Need to purchase at a scout store (council store). Please see attached.

As a teacher who was tasked with something similar, I think you're on the right track, assuming they have the funding for it. I think it's silly how quickly they want you to decide all this, but sometimes funds need to be spent right away.

I used Carnegie Melon's VEX Robotics Curriculum as a curriculum for a summer school class in DCPS and it is very well put together and a great starting place.

PLTW is a total package curriculum and not only robotics.

Here is an example of a school district that got a grant to buy VEX kits for their PLTW program :

VEX and BEST robotics competition uses the same controller the Cortex.
