This AMA site is specifically intended to help teachers do EXACTLY that. There
are plans, instructional materials and more.

This is not specifically for RC, but you can build up to it.

For Example

7th grade FF Gliders
8 th grade FF rubber power
9th grade RC Gliders
10th grade RC Electrics

By time they get to 7th grade they will be accomplished pilots. They will
learn the nature of materials, construction techniques, aerodynamics, balance,
forces and more. Add in art and design, physics, weather, maybe some computer
CAD and you have a heck of a program.

( where do I sign up?)

The links below can all be found on the site above.

Check to see if there is a local AMA club that would like to join up with you
to help with the program.

When you get to RC, working with a buddy box, you can get almost anyone up on
an RC plane. You have the instructor radio, they have the student radio
connected and fully under your control. Take over at the flip of a switch.
Easy to do and not expensive. One set up could be used by the whole class or
club. Evenually the more advanced students could take on instructor roles.

There may even be an AMA club in your area that would like to help. If you get
enough interest, you could start your own AMA chartered club at the school.
This would include the insurance that your administration is sure to be
concerned about.

Start with this. Third or fourth graders will love it!

Egg Carton Glider
I made this one. Flies great!

I am thinking about doing the same thing but for a middle and high school
level. Not as a school teacher but as a member of a club working with a
teacher at the school.

Think about it.
