Engineering Notebooks: Beginning of a Season, End of a School Year

Now that we are post-VEX Worlds and game reveals, it means a new season for VEX Competitions has begun! It also means the school year is coming to an end.

To me, that brings up two questions based on this time of year.

Starting a New Notebook
Starting a new notebook can be daunting. How do you guide students to set up their notebooks so they can work on their robot or strategy over the summer months?

Ending an Engineering Notebook
At the end of the competition season or school year, what do you have students do with their engineering notebooks? Do you have any sort of reflections students complete looking back on their notebook?
