Problem Statement
To come up with the next steps of building a full scale igloo.

Team Members
Brown Deanobijekwu Thai

Summary
We began by reading over the work done by the first group on this project. They made some considerable progress on the math associated, so we started reading that to learn it ourselves. Once we had figured it all out, we cleared up the math involved in calculating the size of blocks in an igloo. Along with this, we drew up a table with all the projected sizes of the blocks necessary in construction We also researched some alternative methods of constructing an igloo.

First Week
Our goals is to start the process of building a full scale igloo. We picked up the math tutorial from previous team and calculated the number of blocks needed for every every layer of IglooTutorial. We discussed the material to use for the igloo but its undecided. We decided to build the igloo in middle of campus, front of the food court.

Second Week Task
Calculate the dimensions of every block base on the math tutorial.

Thrid Week
Interior angle = ((number of blocks - 2) x 180 )/number of blocks

Material List

 * 1. Igloo construction book
 * 2. Calculator

Time
We worked a combined 20 hours on this project

Next Steps
The next group will probably want to pray for snow. At this point, everything is in place. All we need is some snow to actually build with. Maybe purchase a snow saw just in case.
