FLL and FRC curriculum

Hi guys,
I need help finding a open to use curriculum that we can use to teach FLL and FRC specific clases. The idea is create classes specific to FIRST. If you have one that can share it will be grate, or if you have a work in progress that can share that will be good too.

Any help will be really appreciated!!

It’s still a work in progress (I have to have it finished soon I know :smiley: ), but here is the curriculum for McCutcheon High School’s FRC class. It is set up to be a 1 semester course, teaching the skills an concepts that we believe are essential to know for FRC.

Feel free to use any part of it you would like.

Great work thanks a lot.

Hi,

We have a brand new website with over 60 different resources, tutorials, videos, and presentations. We know what it is like to start a team if you want to PM (Private Message) me on Chief Delphi I would be happy to talk to you and walk you through the whole process! We have a whole list of different team management documents and tutorial presentations that could help your team. As former rookies, we know what struggles you are going through, so we would love to help! Let us know what you are interested in and we will be glad to help! We actually have a whole guide with curriculum and basic tutorials for rookie teams that we would love to share with you. We would love to help you out, let us know how we can help you! My team actually started our own class last year and it has evolved in amazing ways! I would love to help you out and send you some resources that we found to be useful!

Thanks

For the time being I suggest that you use the 2018 Mississippi Engineering curriculum as a guide for FRC as most of these skills are very relevant to FRC. I battled pretty hard to make this platform neutral, so that schools could use whatever platform they choose for the robotics: FIRST, VEX, MATE, SEAPerch, BEST, etc. I am currently working on a FIRST specific version of this.

Also for FLL FIRST has this resource: http://info.firstinspires.org/fll-first-steps-request

For FTC FIRST: http://info.firstinspires.org/ftccurriculumrequest?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstinspires.org%2Fcommunity%2Feducators%2Fcurriculum

For FLL, I would strongly recommend going to EV3Lessons. The Seshan brothers have had a lot of experience teaching how to use the Lego Mindstorms for FLL. The people we have referred this curriculum to have all made good progress. Start with the “Beginner” section of the “Programming Lessons” tab.

There also good resources for the Coaches in the “Coaches Corner” tab on the flltutorials website that is also run by the Seshan brothers.

Plus one to this for FLL these guys are great! (FLL Detroit champions award winners)

And the year before (at St. Louis Worlds) they won “mentor of the year” or something like that because they sat out the year of FLL and mentored another team to Worlds.

I believe that their updated / refined web site for this season is http://flltutorials.com/

I concur on the +1.

It appears that the two web sites are meant to be complementary. The EV3Lessons website is oriented towards technical aspects of the robot. It contains a link to flltutorials for “Resources”. The flltutorials web site has resources relating to team management, the Research Project, Robot Design and Core Values and links back to the EV3Lessons website for robot related technical “lessons”. Regardless, both websites are great resources.

One of the boys on a team I am mentoring met the Seshan brothers at Houston Champs this year and is really fired up :slight_smile:

We are a 2nd year team and 1st year class. I would love to see your materials too. [email protected]

Everything I do is a work in progress, but that aside the current top level outline of our training/lessons is attached, and also available here.
