Robotics Coordinator for School District
Please excuse me if this should be posted elsewhere or is discussed in another thread posted.
Does your school district have a robotics coordinator or similar position for the district? Or, do you know of any districts that have a robotics coordinator or similar position? I am currently working on my grad school research in regards to robotics and transition to college/university. I am also working on a side project about leadership in school districts in regards to robotics, etc within the district. Thanks, Norman |

Re: Robotics Coordinator for School District
I believe you will find one such position in Canada. Only one, unfortunately, because the three people I know who have fulfilled this role have made a huge impact right across the country and not just in their own district. I believe Mark Breadner (2008 Woodie Flowers Award Recipient) was the first one to take on this demanding task.
Contact information is at http://www.firstroboticscanada.org/site/contact There are several people in districts across Canada who have taken on leadership roles regarding robotics in their district on a volunteer or informal basis... and not always with FIRST affiliated programs, naturally... but I believe there is only one offical position recognized by a school board in the whole country.

Re: Robotics Coordinator for School District
In Goochland County, robotics falls under the umbrella of special education and enrichment. That gives us one person at our central office as a contact person for all eight FIRST teams in the county. She is also the one who works on grant writing and institutional fund raising.

Re: Robotics Coordinator for School District
Thank you for the information.
I am working on a position to work with k-12 teachers and schools within my district. My administration is encouraging me to consider a science coordinator position along with the robotics. I am working on and proposing a robotics position for a half a day and teaching for a half a day. I will follow up and post updates. Norman |
