What are the most important things to include in a notebook?

I know some of them are…

  • Practice Summaries

  • Design Process

  • Reasoning for Different Decisions

Anything else important I might be missing? This can be a general thread for notebook support.

Did we need yet another notebook topic ? we have many already.

Problem is the mobile format. On the desk top version, it shows multiple posts that have the same topic. On mobile it doesn’t show the search, so new people don’t know.

well - sort of … :slight_smile: EP Summit

I would urge all teams to look at Guide to Judging - significant changes this season with section on Academic Honesty and Integrity… Emphasis on being creative vs just copying other ideas and not citing source of ideas. Moreover, Build, Create, Amaze, and Think now require Engineering Notebook - by August update of Guide to Judging will give clearer guidance on documentation for those awards vs “fully developed”.

I am grateful to the candid and thoughtful discussions this week at the EP Summit to elevate the programs!

Honestly, everything is important. Our team did a notebook page on PowerPoint for every dad we did something (We tried…). I would also keep major changes and results from practices to improve.
