Each team is equipped with engineers, project managers, and builders. The engineers will be given detailed information on the new project which other team member will be privy to, a view of the specialized 4-Station Structure.

Engineers can touch the structure, but they cannot rearrange any part of it. After a brief viewing, the structure is dismantled and placed in a bag along with additional pieces that are not part of the structure. The engineers are placed in an engineer’s station for the remainder of the activity. The builders are in a building station which can only be seen from a crow’s nest.

The goal of each team is to recreate the original structure as quickly as possible following very detailed and often confining guidelines. Movement is limited, communication is challenging, and roles are continuously redefined.

The task is completed when the builders have built the structure that the engineers had been shown originally.

Debrief for a powerful learning experience
Experiential learning activities are based on the principles of experiential education, and serve as the basis for engaging team building programs that deliver high impact team and leadership skills development. Debriefing occurs after the activity and is an important process designed to synergize, strengthen, and transfer learning from the experience to real-life, on-the-job situations. Our professional facilitators can tailor, modify and debrief each activity to meet the specific needs of your team.
