Had a great conversation with a couple of teachers from southern California just now!
We talked about the structure of a VIQRC event, the importance of notebooks, how to get students started with notebooking, and strategies as coaches and teachers as they get started with competition teams.
Some links we walked through included:
- Notebooking.vex.com (importance of notebooks)
- Notebooks.vex.com (digital notebook templates)
- Competition 101 STEM Lab for VIQRC (introducing students to competition and data collection)
Excited to hear how the year progresses! Interested to also hear how others introduce upper elementary/middle school students to the notebook process since this is so new to many of them.
