# Challenge 3: Create Dynamic & Static Obstacles

Learn to add both dynamic and static obstacles to your Scene to influence navigation and gameplay.

_Create dynamic and static obstacles in the scene_

## 1. Add NavMesh Obstacles to the Scene

1\. Enable the Obstacles GameObject in the Hierarchy

2\. On each of the Obstacle GameObjects, add a NavMeshObstacle component to allow NavMeshAgents to navigate around them.
