Team Building: Sand Castle

With the team members and our creation!

Building a sand castle is extremely difficult. I have only had built a sand castle once before with the resources of unlimited water by the ocean and sand. For this team building experience however, we were limited four cups, three with water and sand. My other teammates have never built a sand castle and so with our little to none experience and limited resources, building sand castle was difficult.

At first we didn't know exactly what kind of castle we wanted to built, so we just dug down to created an even flat surface. After doing so, we tried mixing the water and sand in the empty cup. We had difficultly keeping the entire shape when flipping the cup over onto the sandy surface. When we flipped the cup, only half of the of the wet sandy mixture came out and stayed solid, whereas the other half stayed in the cup. Because of this, we just played with the sand and dug even more seeing if we could come up with something. Alex and Aman dug a square with the and in the middle was a solid square. After seeing this, we thought that it was cooled to have a fort/castle building in war and in the end created the two. With the half solid wet sandy mixture, we put the it onto the castle to make it more grand. Creating the sand castle was fun after figuring out what we wanted to do.
