Notebooks
Kiersten, a Nebraska FIRST LEGO League alumni, shares her team's approach to building notebooks and general tips and tricks to putting together successful notebooks. She shares examples of her team's Robot Design, Project, and Core Values notebooks. Kiersten discusses what to include, what judges are looking for, and how to organize the materials.
NEW: Teams will NOT be leaving notebooks or folders with the judging panel. If your team has built a notebook in the past, you can continue to do so, but note that any information from the notebook will need to be shared throughout your presentation. Consider putting tabs in your notebook so you can easily pull information for the presentation or when asked questions. The only item that will be left with your judges will be your Team Information Sheet.
