Classroom Set Up
Arrange the classroom in team tables (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, and Echo) with ONE computer connected to the internet for each team.
We recommended 7 students per team
- 1 student - Lead Meteorologist
- 2 students - Forecast Specialists
- 2 students - Zone Predictors
- 2 students - ETA Advisors
One extra computer is needed to connect live to the Challenger learning Center, with external speakers, linked to a larger screen. It is important to arrange the team areas in the room so that team messengers can walk to and from the front of the room to talk with the Flight Director, without interfering with the ongoing work and without tripping on computer or printer cables. In addition, the team areas should be positioned to allow everyone to observe the large projection screen in front of the class.
