The FTC Crossroads Curriculum — 90 Hours of Engineering Class, Free

Another huge gift from FIRST — this time a full two-semester engineering course. The FIRST Tech Challenge Crossroads Curriculum is roughly 90 hours of class time, designed to be taught as a year-long career-and-technical-education class. It walks students from “Why FIRST?” all the way to a finished engineering portfolio, by way of a competition robot they built themselves.

We can’t do all 90 hours this summer. We can absolutely cherry-pick the units that move us toward our season goals.
