Is Option 3 even possible in California? The closest I can think of is AP Computer Science.

I'm not up-to-date with how 687 currently handles this, but I can share how it worked when I was in high school.

Our FRC class was not weighted, but students could concurrently enroll in an FRC-oriented Physics class at Cal State University Dominguez Hills (where the CAMS campus is located) taught by one of our mentors. We did the same thing with El Camino College for our other engineering classes.

Over the summer, 687 students also often take machining classes at El Camino.
