Most conferences I've attended offer between 1 and 3 semester units. A recent example is the UC Davis C-STEM conference I attended.

I'm hoping FIRST can find a university to set this up with for 2016 and beyond, to help our educators advance both professionally, and financially.

This would be a great push for having robotics be recognized in school districts more prominently.

Does anyone have suggestions on universities that would be a good fit for this?

Brandeis? Purdue? Georgia Tech? Kettering? Southern New Hampshire?

These are just the first few that come to mind as being already engaged with FIRST.
