Week Four

You should have a basic plan by now and it’s time to get building.  I find it’s best to build the base first and then work on the details.  It will make it so you have a visible outline to build around.  It also makes it easy to divide jobs.  A couple of team members can work on the base and the rest can work on additional structures like houses and tunnels.  As a bonus you can play your course as you work to iron out the problems. 

 

4:00 pm Divide into teams and break out the materials

Here is a great breakdown of the planning stage including how to get started.

5:00 pm    Take a break and get back to work.
