A collaborative team-building challenge where, armed with detailed plans and a flat-pack kit, teams build a 1:4-scale aircraft from scratch. From assembly to finishing touches, collaboration is key as the structure takes shape and is brought to life with custom-designed decals.
Once complete, teams shift their focus to performance — developing a strategy to guide their aircraft through a series of obstacles. Roles and responsibilities are defined to ensure everyone understands their part in the mission.
At race time, the energy ramps up. Planes line up on the runway and, inspired by the thrill of a Red Bull Air Race, teams must combine speed, precision, and coordination to navigate the course as efficiently as possible. It’s a high-impact finale where teamwork and execution determine the winner.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
This creative team building challenge puts teamwork, resourcefulness, and communication at the centre of success. Transforming a flat-pack kit into a fully realised aircraft requires clear planning and a shared understanding of the end goal.
Breaking the challenge into sub-teams encourages effective task allocation, while strong cross-team communication ensures all components come together seamlessly. Understanding how each contribution fits into the bigger picture is essential.
Success in the final race depends on thoughtful strategy, well-defined roles, and the ability to work together under pressure — reinforcing practical skills that transfer directly into the workplace.
