    v23 v24  
    11=== Control Systems/ Software Training Curriculum
    2 ==== Guiding Principles
    3 * Students hate lecture style teaching. Better to be hands on.
    4 * Wide variety of skill levels.  Take care not to cater to any one particular level.
     2=== Guiding Principles
     3* Students hate lecture style teaching. Better to be hands on.  Avoid powerpoint lectures.
     4* Students have a wide variety of skill levels.  Take care not to cater to any one particular level.
    55* Not all students go to all sessions (due to family conflicts, etc).
    6 * Make sure to coordinate with Software Leads.
     6* Make sure to coordinate/ review with Software Lead and validate with Seniors.
    77
    8 === General Student Skill Set
    9 * Robocode
     8The basic plan is that there there are three technical skill levels that build on their predecessors. Not all students start at level one.
     9''Idea: If we come up with 3-5 activities at each level we can mix and match.''
     10
     11=== Skill Level 1:  Students new or beginners at Java programming ([http://robocode.sourceforge.net/ Robocode])
    1012  * Software fundamentals. 
    1113  * Java Programming Basics
    1214  * Computer focused.
    1315  * Individual Challenges/ Competition
    14 * Minibots
    15   * Basic bot usage and control with java.
    16   * Sensor, Drive manipulation with java.
    17   * Small Team challenges
    18 * Midbots (Peanut, etc)
    19   * Roborio
    20 * Safety
    21 * Software Development Practices (CM, Design ,etc)
    22   * Git
    23   * Testing
    24   * Basic Design
