Room, Walls
- People will be organized into table-teams, averaging 5 people per team. Thus, we need NumStudents/5 tables; e.g., 6 or 7 tables if 35 students. The tables are ideally in separate islands, circular or square, with a team at each.
- Don’t make it a crowded room; there are a number of activities/exercises that involve the teams moving around.
- There are several wall activities/exercises, involving whiteboards and flip chart paper; each team needs some unencumbered clear wall space for this. To be clear: There must be lots of clear empty wall space, and we must be able to use the walls, and put things on the walls.
- See the next section for whiteboard solutions...
Whiteboards
- Because there are exercises involving whiteboards, the students need whiteboards: 1 board per table. This can be achieved either by existing many whiteboards on the walls, or (usually more easily) by supplying (per class, not per table) a total of TWO ROLLS OF "WHITEBOARD CLING-SHEETS".
- this is a list of online suppliers for whiteboard cling-sheets: Whiteboard-Like Sheets For Agile Modeling On Walls
Supplies for the Coach/Speaker
Read this: Supplies - for Coach Use
Table Layout
- Round tables are ideal, but we can live with rectangular layouts
- Tables should not be against the walls; we are using the walls as a working area in this course.
- Distribute the tables throughout the room
Computers, Software and Networking
- Internet access for the coach; it is not needed for the students
Supplies for Student Use
