Anyone is welcome to submit materials to be considered for the site. EV3Lessons reviews all submissions. Submissions must comply with our guidelines and standards. EV3Lessons reserves the right to modify these submission guidelines at any time. Here are some common questions and answers.

Who runs the site?
The owners of EV3Lessons are school-age students. These students create all the materials, but also maintain the site, reply to mails and make the posts on Social Media. The students manage all content and make the decisions. All activity, however, is monitored by adult mentors for the security of the students only.

Do you have a lesson format?
Yes. Please contact us for our lesson format and guidelines. If you do not want to submit a full lesson (just code), we will write the lesson for you.

What about copyright issues?
If you share your material on the site, you are automatically adopting the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. What exactly does that license mean? Anyone is allowed to download and use your material (even with changes) for non-commercial purposes, as long as they give you credit. EV3Lessons always indicates the original author of any material on the site.

Why do you not accept every lesson?
We do not want to offend anyone. More than likely, someone else submitted the same topic and same solution before you. Another possibility is that we cannot use that format on our site (video lesson). The topic you wanted to submit is already being worked on by us or something that does not fit well into our curriculum map. In addtion, we will only accept material directly submitted by the author.

What do you do with alternative techniques or side-techniques sent to you?
If the idea fits into our existing curriculum map, we will merge with an existing lesson or add to our main curriculum area. If it is an alternative strategy that does not present new blocks, it will more than likely go into our contributed set of lessons which provide alternative methods using the same coding tools.

How do you determine the authorship of a lesson?
The team will get credit for whatever portion of the lesson they created on the Credits Page.

Why do you change the materials submitted?
We reserve the right to change all materials and also the right to decide how to use them. EV3Lessons also makes all the decisions about how and where content is displayed on our site.

EV3Lessons has a lesson format that works well. We like all our lessons to be similar style. Sometimes, content submitted fits well into an existing lesson or a lesson we have already started. We might prefer to merge the material. Sometimes, there are errors or unclear sections in submitted materials that must be fixed.

How do you identify the creator of a robot design?
We always give credit to the individual who designed the robot - whether they are an adult or a student. All designs must be submitted by the designer of the robot (team/individual). You may not submit someone else's work. All designs displayed on our site is with the author's or creator's permission.

Why do you put disclaimers on your robot design page?
We prefer designs that have been built and tested in the real-world. Lego Digital Designer is a great tool for visualizing and building robots. However, in our experience, robots might look nice, but are not always stable when you actually try to work with them. Movement (straight and turns) can be skewed if a build is not well balanced. Therefore, we let you know ahead of time that YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary) if we decide to post a robot build that has not been physically built.

Who translates the lessons?
Right now, First Teams and other individuals volunteer their time to translate the site and lessons. We cannot guarantee the quality of any of the translations as we do not speak the languages ourselves.
