Creating Your Own Project
We'll begin by opening an Inspiration template that contains many of the symbols and diagram elements we need already in it. The template file is included in the resource packet that is available for download on this Web page.

The movies below will demonstrate how to complete each section of the Inspiration template. You can enter information about your own event in your copy of the template file. Watch a movie and then try doing it yourself on your own computer, before moving on to the next movie.
