Fairfax County has an "academy" system in which certain schools can draw students from other schools for specialized classes (such as law enforcement, dance, animal sciences, advanced technical theatre, Korean language, etc.). The Chantilly Academy (Technology and Human Services) has several classes associated with Engineering and Robotics (and Team 612), including Engineering Systems I and II, Electronics, and Engineering Physics.
Wildstang began it's 9th period class (after school credit classes) after several students petitioned the school board in 1997-98. The board agreed and approved the class if a curriculum could be formed and listed out as do regular classes. Students do receive grades and must maintain grades in all classes to stay on the team. Participation does affect GPA.

McKee High School, Team 522, home of the 2006 World Champion Robo Wizards has had a Robotics course structured after FIRST for over 3 years. It is a hands on class designed so that the students who work in teams are given a set of problems that they need to solve, then they are given a certain amount of time with material and tools provided, to fabricate a structure based on physics and sound engineering principles and perform a certain set of tasks all done in a timed environment. Mckee also boasts of having the only full working state of the art machine shop in all of the NYC high schools. The teams of students compete against each other in their respective classes and then there is a run-off competition between the winners of both Robotics classes. They also vie for prizes. The classes meet one period a day five days a week from September thru June. Robotics class students also have the option of joining the Robotics team. The whole idea came from the fact that the students did not learn enough about Robotics, just attending team meetings one hour a week. The classes are taught by the same people that run the Robotics team. It has been a hugely successful endeavor on the part of the teachers and administrators at McKee. The teachers and staff have also written an entire Robotics curricula that the school is trying to implement for all public high schools throughout New York City. McKee Vocational High school is located on Staten Island, New York.

Re: Robotics Class

Churchville-Chili High School just got a robotics class this year. The course itself is called "Intro to Robotics". Throughout the year us students will work with Fisher Techniks, VEX, and FRC, as well as other stuff. Our teacher (2006 FLR Woodie Flowers Award Winner) Jason Rees teaches the class. As always, if the class isn't awesome in itself, is so much better with Rees as our teacher.

Re: Robotics Class

Mount Olive High School has a series of four robotics elective classes, each a full year long and taught by the one and only Mr. McGowan. The classes start off with Legos freshman year and moving up to Robix, BOEbots, vEx, and finally a 1/3 scale FRC competition in junior year. The senior class is independent study, often a continuation of the Jr. class.
In the middle school we have a lego robotics class that fields three FLL teams as well as a massive afterschool club. (God bless you Mrs. Wozniak)
