It was great chatting with you, @Erik_Anderson ! I have a summary here with links of our chat today, but let me know if there’s something I missed and I would be happy to get that for you 
Summary:
- Pacing Guide – 2nd gen STEM Labs (Learn Practice Compete) absolutely can cover a year with the recommended Activities, just will need to extend certain activities so you can build that good foundation in documentation and reflection. If you do get done a little early in April or so, I would recommend:
- Loop, There It Is SPARK STEM Lab - Students code their robot to make a dance move repeatedly
- Clawbot with Controller SPARK STEM Lab for the custom controller code
- Assessment – For bridging the gap between that process and the unfortunate reality of needing to put letter grades in the gradebook, we talked about the new Engineering Notebook rubrics for VEX IQ Competition.
- Article about the Engineering Notebook Rubrics
- Also used the latest Insights Article from @Aimee_DeFoe as a reference for the formative assessment side of the world!
- Digital versus Physical Engineering Notebooks – we talked about some examples and landed on why digital would be the best option for your students.
- VEX IQ Competition!
- Maybe starting next year, or getting kids involved this year through a club-style.
- Competition 101 STEM Labs to get started with competition
- Registering a Team - VEX Events
- Hero Bot builds
- Need a Competition Add On Kit in order to build
Thank you again for your enthusiasm! I cannot wait to hear how your school year goes.
