As part of the internship orientation, your boss has given you a team building assignment. Your task is to produce a report how to turn your group of student interns into a highly functional team capable of carrying out the internship project. Your boss explains you will not be provided with any more information about the internship project until the team building assignment is completed.

Task Details: This assignment is intended to provide an authentic teamwork experience. This task gives you the opportunity to work collaboratively and to develop team-based skills.

You will work in teams of 3-4 students to complete the assignment.
