Tips for Write-Ups
4
1.Start as soon as possible! As soon as you confirm an event or start working on a new program or process, start making a write-up.
5
2. Don't just summarise the event - your audience isn't judges! You're audience is your fellow team members and future members. Include everything you did - write it like a tutorial for future members
6
3.Make sure to include "Lessons Learned" in the next steps section. You want to record potential improvements for next time - if you were to do the event again, what would you do differently?

First, double check we don't have a write-up already created - this can apply to things like Kent Cornucopia Days, STEM Nights / Science Fairs, and recurring events like Freshman Orientation. If we have a write-up already started, see below.

If we don't, and do not plan to do this event in the future, this event is Past and will use the Past / Planned Event Template and delete the recurring event table template. If we are planning to make this a recurring event, this event is Planned and will also use the Past / Planned Event Template.

1. Select the Link to the right, save a copy to the Robotics Drive
2. Share the document with the Robotics Email as an Editor (if not using the team email to copy)
3. Add the write-up to Michael - include all relevant info and add a Link to the document
4. Fill out the Header: Add Title, Season, and Past or Present Classification
5. Fill out the Footer: Add your initials in the "author" line and the current date.
6. Make sure the event is present in OBTN and the metrics match.

Now you're ready to write!

You're in luck! These write-ups should contain tables / templates to update easily. Major sections to update are:
1. Add any template boxes used for each event and fill out (if applicable)
2. Summary Box at beginning of document; update major metrics, dates, member leads, etc.
3. Photographs; Add more photos when relevant
4. Update the Header and Footer as Needed
5. Update Next Steps
6. Mark write-up as "Review / Edit" in Michael

Planned Event or Program
14
For larger initiatives that we are actively planning, document your progress and efforts in the Planned template.

Note, this is meant for initiatives that have a long lead time to plan (example: structure to start FLL teams or planning a large fundraising event that will not take place until the following season), do not use Planned template for upcoming events that are already confirmed or close to execution.

1. Select the Link to the right, save a copy to the Robotics Drive
2. Share the document with the Robotics Email as an Editor (if not using the team email to copy)
3. Add the write-up to Micheal - include all relevant info and add a Link to the document
4. Fill out the Header: Add Title, Season, and Past or Present Classification
5. Fill out the Footer: Add your initials in the "author" line and the current date.

Now you're ready to write!

Once the event or program has been executed, this write-up will be transferred to an Past/Present template.

Once your write-up is drafted, swap its status to "Review / Edit" and add a comment tagging the following:
a) a mentor to review
b) a fellow member

Write-ups will go through several revision cycles. Once you have mentor approval on the final draft, it will be marked "Ready for Print" and can be printed and added to our documentation binder.
