Around the World in Seven Weeks [Tuesday, July 30, 2013, 2nd period]
Anakin and Ben were in Portalocity waiting for the class with enough iced capps for everyone to enjoy while listening to the briefing. Ben was working his way through a box of Timbits, but those were just for him. Sorry.
"Today we're heading to Calgary, Alberta, Canada," Anakin said, pointing out the location on the map. "In the summer: I know this might be a concern to those of you who think Canada is constantly covered in snow."
Like Ben had been until they'd started doing research. Cough. "Calgary hosted the winter Olympics several decades ago," he said, "which is this totally astral sporting event that comes around every four years. Calgary's also home to several First Nations tribes in the area, including the Siksika, Stoney and Tsuu T'ina." Ben kind of destroyed the pronunciation of that last tribe.
"Explore Calgary, have fun with the activities and we'll meet you at the check-in point," Anakin concluded.

Re: Road Block: This Looked Easier in Movies
There was a lot (a lot) of trial and error, including one attempt where she put all the sticks together on the ground and then tried to pull them up with the rope, and another few where she based her designs on a single, center, supporting pole.
This was way cooler than building a balsa-wood bridge in woodshop in middle school!
