Themed Mini Golf Team Project

Your team will plan, build, and evaluate a mini-golf putting green. It must have an obstacle that will redirect the ball or that it can travel through, over, or around. The obstacles can include things like simple ramps, tunnels, columns, arches, and other structures. They can be more elaborate and include moving parts if time permits. Themed elements are required for this project. Themes must be approved by Mrs. Brandal. There can be multiple parts to your themed putting green.

Criteria
Each mini-golf putting green obstacle(s) must have a clear theme or overall vision.
