*Featuring the Campus Build **Cardboard House Building Competition!
10am-6pm**

Think you can build a house out of just cardboard and duct tape?
Think you can build a *sturdy *house out of just cardboard and duct tape?

We'll provide the duct tape, cardboard, box cutters, and a 10'x10' plot of
lawn, along with a *FREE t-shirt*.
You provide the creativity and manpower.

At the end of the day, a panel of Architecture professors will choose the
most *structurally sound* cardboard building.  The only requirement is that
your structure must be able to fit all team members.
Each member of the winning team will win a *$25 gift card to the Cambridge
Galleria!*

Teams can begin working on their houses at 10am.  The judging will take
place at 6pm.  *Team members are not required to be present the entire time,
*though it would be a good idea to make sure that 1-2 people from your team
are present at all times.

*Sign up in teams of 4-5 people by next Tuesday, April 20.*
Email gracelee at mit.edu for more information and to register a team.

*Also featuring Habitat Construction @ MIT: Build a Handicap Ramp!*
Bricks next to Kresge
*10am-6pm*

Help build a handicap ramp for a home being constructed by Habitat for
Humanity of Greater Lowell!  Not only is swinging a hammer a great stress
reliever, but you'd also be helping a family in need... all right on
campus!  No construction experience required.

*If you're interested in working on the ramp, email
**gracelee at mit.edu**with the time(s) you would like to volunteer.
*Come for as long as you like! You'd be surprised how much you can do in
just 1 hr.*
*

*Campus Build 2010 is sponsored by LEF, the UA, and Spring Weekend.
