Today's Class

In today's class, we were presented with the Pyramid Challenge.  The Pyramid Challenge is a game online which teaches about building a pyramid in Ancient Egypt.  You had to get all of the right steps in order to be successful.  I had to decide what supplies, pyramid building material (limestone), and location to construct the pyramid.  I had to select the pyramid angle, so that the pyramid could be built correctly.  I had to make up my work force (craftsmen, farmers, and officials) needed to build the pyramid.  I had to figure out what food was needed for the workers and how many times per day they needed to eat.  A lot of thinking went into went into this challenge to complete it.  At the end, I had to steer a ship up the Nile River without causing to much damage to the ship and I also had to sail fast before the 21 days were up.  It was a very difficult challenge because if you did one thing wrong, you wold not be able to complete the pyramid in time!
