Leveling the Playing Field with Curriculum - let's make it happen
I am working with an nationally accredited Institute in Redmond, WA that is interested in supporting FRC with free curricular modules, through which students/teachers would be able to get transferable credit. It would be particularly aimed at helping rookie teams successfully compete. I haven't been able to find very detailed information here on technical concepts (versus logistical).
I'm interested in: 1) What concepts do teams struggle most with? 2) What specific aspects of engineering, math, and physics could be provided to rookies to help them gain a broader understanding of robotics (with respect to FRC)? I might even try to match these with National Education Standards, where they exist. The curriculum would be designed specifically for FRC and ideally wouldn't require the use/purchase of another kit. We'd love to be able to alleviate some of the burden of the mentors and teachers by providing these online... Also, I welcome any feedback on/collaboration with existing FRC curriculum. (Am currently checking out white papers, firstobjective, MOE, etc as well). Squirrel #1726 (N.E.R.D.S) and JesseK (#1885) were particularly helpful in their posts of topics: "No Smoking: Wire sizes, insulation, current, fuses, safe wiring practices Tipping: Center of gravity and how to make a robot stay upright Screw It: Choosing the right fasteners and using them properly Draw It: How to get your ideas across so others can understand them It Bent: How to figure what materials to use, which shape, and size" "Custom Circuit Design Advanced Rotary Motion" etc Last edited by MichelleGraf : 30-07-2009 at 13:30. |
