Junkyard Challenge - Constructive Team Building

For the ultimate test in innovation and creativity why not undertake the Junkyard Challenge?

Objectives 

Junkyard challenge creates an environment in which teams must run a construction project from cradle to grave. Planning, Resource Management, Communication, Delegation and Implementation are all put under the microscope.

The Activity

The teams are given finite resources at the beginning of the activity. Each team will need to plan its purchases from our “hardware store” carefully in order to complete their project.

If the teams run out of materials or funds during the construction phase they may then take part in a series of fun challenges - which could earn them the cash they need in order to continue building. Fun challenges include Shooting, Games of Chance, Brain Teasers and much more.

Once the designated construction phase is over, the teams’ machines will compete against each other in a hilarious final competition.
