Room, Walls, Whiteboards

  • 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.
  • 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".

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
