I am trying to establish a similar curriculum for the Boston Public
Schools middle schools. Right now I'm developing it around ROBOLAB 2.0
with all of the data acquisition, graphing, etc. I'll you (and lugnet)
posted as things develop. What I would definitely recommend is having
the culminating grade (or culminating project at the end of every grade)
be a systems engineering project. I have my "robotic zoo" up at
http://www.weston.org/Schools/teched/middleschool/berwin/ and other
systems engineering ideas at
http://ldaps.ivv.nasa.gov/Curriculum/systems.html I've been so excited
about this idea of bringing this kind of project to a classroom that
I've even written papers about it and presented several places - I'd be
happy to talk to you more in depth about the philosophy either here or
off-line.
