Morning Session  (Team work, Creativity and Performance Skills):

• The Team can’t do a good job without Teamwork!!!!!  Learn how to get it.
• What makes for a GREAT performance in both the Team Challenge and Instant Challenge (IC)?
• What skills are needed and how can you teach these skills without committing Interference?
• How does a Team best utilize its “non-performing” members?

This session will start with how to create teamwork, even within a team that doesn’t get along that well. It will then move to “What is Creativity?” and how to consistently develop creative solutions.  The season will then proceed to show you, step-by-step, how to teach your Team a methodology that will to create quality, in-depth performances in both the Team Challenge and in Instant Challenge.

Afternoon Session (Properties of Materials):

• What does a Team need to know about Materials for both the Team Challenge & Task-based IC?
• What makes for a top “Creative Uses of Materials” score?
• How does a team make things stand up, hold weight, cross spaces without entering, etc.
• How can you teach these skills to a Team?

The afternoon session starts with basic properties of materials and their functions.  It builds, one step at a time, utilizing various mini-challenges that will show you how to teach a Team to use all types of materials, creatively!  It is a must session for teaching kids how to design props and how to do Task-Based Instant Challenges.

Both of these sessions are VERY HANDS-ON.  Come prepared to work, participate, and learn in a team atmosphere!  You will never look at a performance in the same way again!  You will never be afraid to build a tower or a bridge again!  You (and your Team) can become experts at these skills!!
