*CAMPUS BUILD 2011*
*Friday, April 29
Kresge Lawn (facing dorm row)*

*Featuring the Campus Build **Cardboard House Building Competition!
10am-5pm**
*
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**.
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 5pm.  *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 12pm Thursday, April 28.*
Visit http://habitat.mit.edu/campus_build.shtml or email
jdc at mit.edu<gracelee at mit.edu> for
more information and to register a team.

*Also featuring Habitat Construction @ MIT: Build an Adirondack!*
Don't know what that is? Come find out!
Bricks next to Kresge
*10am-5pm*

Help build an Adirondack chair for a home that was just completed by North
Shore Habitat for Humanity!  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
**jdc at mit.edu<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 2011 is sponsored by the UA.
