- guide for coaches ( Team Meeting Guide ), with a proposed route divided into work sessions;
- work notebook ( Engineering Notebook ) designed for team members, in which they can note the progress made in the work carried out.
Anyone who purchases a Class Pack also receives the Class Pack Guide , with advice on how to organize an event within the school or institution.
The teams prepare for the event using the material received.
