			=== Morning learning vs. evening learning ===

			After-dinner training may be a bad idea, everyone is exhausted, over-saturated, and less able to retain learning. I'd suggest teaching and training involve white boards, chalk boards, hand outs, print outs or slide shows in the morning after breakfast or pre-breakfast so learning is at a prime level. Ideally, evenings would be spent socializing, team bonding, etc.

			=== More hands on demonstration ===

			I think there was often too much talking, and not enough demonstration /diagrams - for non-verbal learners, this presents an information gap. The demo that Aydan did on day 4 was ideal for day 1 to set the context for the strength of the build.

			Also, the brick laying style was not as strong as the locally suggested style. I would prefer the interlocking bricks for structural integrity. [ picture].

			==== Stations ====

			In general, pre-arrival, it would be ideal if there could be pre-designated areas or "stations" for the various tasks.

			==== Pre-build + actual build differentiation ====

			Ideally, I would like to see options for build "shifts" for example, first shift might be 5 days long whch includes creating bricks, prep work, laying foundation etc. Second shift might be 5 days long which includes slurry and brick laying etc. This way, there would be fresh teams for each phase, less rushing, more focus, a weekend between (during which time people could recharge) and people could choose what portion of the learning most applies to them, or remain on site through the duration, participating in the entire build.

			==== Create visuals or increase time frame ====

			Ultimately, I think 5 days is far too short a time to do a quality swarm build of this style. Unless there is more organization before hand, and clarity in terms of distillated, essential information, including a diagram of the build blueprints so there is a visual beforehand.

			==== First Aid ====

			A First-aid station/location (easily identified) is a '''must''' fro such an uncoordinated untrained team. As is safety gear.

			=== What to do next time ===

			# Spec's and drawings
			# Schedule and time lines
			# Theory and lab the pro finish
			# social
			# task delegation

			1. Specifications and drawings: A clear design that each participant understands before starting. Blueprint with measurements and dimensions. Specifications on how to perform task at hand.

			2. Schedules and time lines: A clear awareness of how long each scope/task take. The breakdown of the task in theory with appropriate tools and hardware on hand and adequate supply.

			3. Theory and lab, then pro finish: Many participants are unskilled builders. It's my recommendation there could be more time dedicated to understanding the task in theory/class. Then each task in practice application show to students by skilled craftsperson for 3 hr, 3hr class, 3 hr. practice lab Then class is over and professional builder finish. It's hard to expect so much work from paying volunteers.

			4. Social element: Starting at 6am pick-up to 9pm, a total of 13 hr day intensive is hard for the student to grasp all that is taught and experienced in a day. I sense there could be no more than 6 hrs including travel to hotel.

			1. More fun and social experience to enhance the experience from hard work to a fun learning experience. Maybe evening entertainment with libations and music dancing, merriment

			2. Task Delegation:

			Delegate each task so participants have a clear idea of what they are doing and expected from each.
