Introduction

The goal for this guide is to provide a step-by-step approach to teaching a Destination Imagination team about building structures in a way that doesn't constitute "interference".  This guide is not written with any particular Structure Challenge in mind.  It intends to simply provide "generic Structure building knowledge".  Anyone reading this guide should be aware that the team must thoroughly read and understand the rules for the current years Structure Challenge -- because this guide might suggest techniques or materials that are not allowed this year. 

This guide will cover:

-- Tools and environmental issues.

-- Glue and material characteristics.

-- An introduction to the "art of gluing".

-- Issues that can impact the consistency and quality of structures.

-- Where teams can go to learn more about Structure design theory.
