About
The Ice Installation mind map template, created by a student team at Cal Poly, outlines the full lifecycle of building a large-scale ice sculpture on campus. With 178 nodes across 1 sheet, it covers construction logistics, form design, permitting, and transportation. Key branches include 'Freezers' (on-campus inquiries and off-campus potential benefactors), 'Forms' (cylindrical molds like Sonoco and Quickrete), and 'City Permit' coordination with the City of San Luis Obispo. This Ice Installation mind map serves as a comprehensive project planning cheat sheet for engineering and art students tackling ambitious temporary structures.
