Help with my path to robotics enlightenment?
I would like to teach a small class at my daughter's school, and eventually build and program a larger, intelligent bot with ROS. It's been 17 years since my last college class with any physics / electronics, so if anyone has any advice and other helpful resources, I'd appreciate it!
EDIT: After getting to the third lecture of this course, it looks like it will definitely cover enough of the basics to get me back in the game. Then the robotics will pile on from there.
Understanding Modern Electronics course from The Great Courses.

NEVER open with the resistor color code chart, unless you flaunt convention and do the very non-PC version, bad boys rrrr ooo yyyyy ggggg but violet ggggg wwwwwwwww.
I think you'd be arrested if you came out with that in class.
Long story short, people like robots, and I think there's enough room for all sorts of robot classes, events, parties and contests. Figure out what's age appropriate for your class and put a curriculum together. Keith Young here in the forum is also super active working with school groups, his insight is invaluable.
There are two Ucode locations near me: https://www.ucode.com/locations/
Also nearby is this guy in Pasadena, running what appears to be a good-sized robot course: https://www.barnabasrobotics.com/
