Participants begin by analysing their collection of recycled materials and planning how they will use the materials in their section to create their contraptions. Each team’s section must work correctly, and they must communicate with teams nearby to ensure they will connect. After testing and making tweaks to all of the individual components in the room, to great anticipation, the final reaction is triggered. Will it work? Has everyone succeeded? Effective teams will have assessed the available resources, made a rough plan, and then throughout their construction, appraised and adapted that plan. This experience helps participants develop a common vision, a shared strategy and then put it into place. It is a very effective sharpener for project management skills and offers the incredibly satisfying reward of seeing all of your hard work come to fruition. ## Learning Outcomes ### Collaboration Improving collaboration across a team is probably the number one way we can help to improve a team’s performance. If you don’t communicate, you can’t collaborate. We start with communication and get it flowing, then get everyone working together. We have found that creating long-term change in the way teams collaborate can be as simple as getting them into a creative frame of mind. Whether the team task is to work together or compete is up to you. ### Creativity Flexing your creative muscles is an ingeniously fun way of improving your problem-solving skills. These skills can make a big difference to how teams approach their day to day, back in the workplace. Our creative experiences allow participants to explore within themselves and collaboratively as teams. Ultimately, these experiences are massively rewarding. ### Morale boosters Our morale booster experiences are designed to inspire new patterns of thinking across a team or even a whole organisation. They can be both fun and motivating, help with employee engagement, stimulate creativity, and are great for those all-important shared experiences. **Call us on** [03300 040903](tel:03300040903) **Send us an email** [info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk](mailto:info@teamchallenge-company.co.uk) **Follow us on social** ## Related Experiences Take a scroll through our latest and most popular experiences to inspire your next team building session. - [Bridge Build Contract](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/bridge-build-contract.md): Teams bid to build and construct a bridge that will support a remote-control 4x4 car in this tense business simulation challenge. - [Chain Reaction: Table Top](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/chain-reaction-table-top.md): Teams are tasked with building a series of simple chain-reaction machines before joining them together to create a joyfully elaborate contraption. - [Big Picture](https://www.teamchallenge-company.co.uk/experiences/big-picture.md): Teams are brought together through the creation of a giant multi-canvas artwork.
