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 are a few short exercises on spreadsheets. These are team exercises (average 5 persons per team). Thus, at least one laptop is required 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.
