Engineer's tip (Many hands, one plan): Roles: leader (organises), builder (makes), tester (checks), recorder (writes), materials manager (supplies). Good teamwork: listen, share, be kind, help, agree before changing, own up. Equal sharing: jobs ÷ people = jobs each; × minutes per job = minutes each.
