Room, Walls, Whiteboards
- People will be organized into table-teams, averaging 5 or 6 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 exercises that involve the teams moving around.
- There are several wall exercises, involving flip chart paper or PostIt Note layouts; each team needs some unencumbered clear wall space for this.

Table Layout
- Round tables are ideal
- Tables should not be against the walls; we are using the walls as a main working area in this course.
- Distribute the tables throughout the room
Computers, Software and Networking
- There *may* be one short exercise on spreadsheets. These are team exercises (average 5 persons per team). Thus, at least one laptop is useful for each team; two is nicer. Therefore, ask people to bring a laptop if they have one.
- A power supply is NOT needed for each table, because the computer use is minimal. However, please ensure there are some powerstrips “somewhere” in the room so students can recharge laptops.
- No network is required.
