Charrette

A charrette is like a big group of people getting together to work on a special project or problem. Imagine you and all your friends are going to make a big, awesome fort in the woods. When you all get together to plan how to build it and what it will look like, that's kind of what a charrette is like.

In a charrette, people from different backgrounds and skills work together to come up with a plan or solution in a short amount of time. It's like a brainstorming session, but everyone is working together to come up with the best ideas.

Charrettes are often used for planning things like buildings, parks, or neighborhoods. Sometimes they happen over a few days, and everyone works day and night to come up with the best plan. The goal is to get everyone's ideas out on the table and figure out the most creative, efficient, and practical way to make it happen.
