Make your next Teambuilding Adventure more than an exercise – Make it an Experience!

In today’s business environment your most valuable assets are your employees. Their training and motivation are keys to your success. You need them to work together as a team; to instill trust, responsibility, loyalty and respect.

Our programs build enthusiasm. They’re about interpreting data, drawing conclusions, solving problems, working as a team, communicating quickly and clearly, solving problems creatively and making good business decisions – even under stress!

 

Building a Space Probe

This exercise promotes and fosters innovation through interaction, thinking outside "the box", decision-making and collaboration as a team. Using a building component known as Googleplex, you and your team of “engineers” have been selected to design & build a space probe.

Teams will follow written criteria, which includes following a budget, with the goal of winning the NASA contract. Teams will present their model to the other teams as well as the NASA representatives (Challenger staff). Key elements of this exercise include presentation skills, communication, listening, creating and communicating a vision for a project, collaboration and thinking outside "the box". Be prepared for competition!

Space Probe is a one-hour activity.
