Re: FRC Class Curriculum Help

My team (4272) has a class as part of the school day. Last year, we spent the entire class time as just extra time for all robotics projects. While that worked well in the spring during the build season, it made the fall season a bit boring and we felt we weren't utilizing our time. For this upcoming year, we created a full curriculum for the fall class. We broke up the class into several modules with some mini-workshops in between. The basics of it are below:

Module 1 - Introduction to the class, the team, and FIRST

Module 2 - Good workmanship

Mini-workshop: Resume making

Module 3 – Materials and Parts

Module 4 – Tools and machining

Mini-workshop: Branding and team image, spirit, social media, and marketing

Module 5 – General Mechanical Design

Module 6 – Electrical Work

Mini-workshop: Outreach and Fundraising

Module 7 – Programming

The fall class is supposed to teach students skills they would not normally have the time to learn during the build season. If you would like, we have curriculum for this more fleshed out that we can send to you.

In addition, we have all the materials from when we asked the school for a robotics class and are putting together step-by-step instructions on how to get a FIRST robotics class at your school
