Note! The draft rules for 2024-25 have now been posted. We will continue to update the site as changes are finalized. 

MESA Day Lab Notebooks

This year, Lab Notebooks will be required for Pacific MESA Day. The four competitions that require  a Lab Notebook are MESA Machine, Cargo Gliders, Moon Base, and Crime Scene Science (Important Note: Crime Scene Science requires a different notebook than the other three). All lab notebooks are due on February 14th. The purpose of the lab book is to walk students through the Engineering Design Process, so this will also serve as a great guide to go along with building the project. 

Lab Notebooks and Science Journals are due by February 14th. Each one must be submitted digitally to the Advisor Drive. Students can also complete a paper lab book and teachers can scan them in to submit as a pdf file. We will have a folder in the Advisor drive to upload notebooks at a later date close to the deadline. MESA Liaisons are available to help students with their lab books. To request a Liaison, please contact Rose or Jonathan.
​
MESA day notebooks will also be required at the Regional level for Moon Base, MESA Machine and Cargo Glider. The requirements and grading for the regional competition can be found at https://mesa.ucop.edu/resources/.
