    4. CREATE YOUR SOLUTION:  Once your team knows the problem limitations, it’s time to create a solution! Each team member will find a role to play in the many stages of problem-solving including brainstorming, artwork, set design, technical design, writing sketches and much more! Everyone learns to think Beyond the Box.
