Team Building isn't Rocket Science
National Space Day is annually celebrated on the first Friday of May. The day is dedicated to the extraordinary achievements, benefits and opportunities in the exploration and use of space. Space Day aims to promote the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
To celebrate National Space Day, why not book our Rocket Launch teambuilding event for your team! You’ll be pleased to know, you don’t need to know rocket science!
Our Rocket Launch brings together some mission critical elements that will involve the whole team in the successful creation and launch of a rocket!
Format
Each team will be briefed on their ‘mission’ and supplied with all the tools and materials needed to create their very own rockets! Teams must not only focus on the design and build of the rocket but also create their own space corporation and branding to showcase on their flight suits and the finished vessels.
Once rockets have been built and branded, teams will head to the launch pad for fuelling with our very own rocket fuel before a series of initial test launches, allowing them to perfect their design.
3… 2… 1… LIFT-OFF!
Once the finishing touches have been completed, teams will gather to launch their rockets from our very own Cape Canaveral launch site. Our Senior Engineers will use sophisticated equipment to calculate which design has performed best, whilst our Senior Ballistics Analyst will scrutinise each rocket’s performance and the accuracy of its flight trajectory for bonus points!
If you would like to find out more information about our Rocket Launch event and Where this can take place then please call our events team on 01590 676599.
Icebreaker
Egg Toss
Overview
Eggcellent and Energising Icebreaker
You’re tasked to create a clever contraption to propel an egg as far as possible. You are issued with equipment that includes everything you need to construct a trebuchet or catapult, but you’ll have to think creatively to fling your missile the furthest!
Everyone is given thirty minutes to design and construct their egg tossing contraption. These mighty machines are then lined up for the competition. Teams take turns to open fire, unleashing their eggs, while our eggspert adjudicators measure the distances.
The team whose machine combines power and accuracy to fling eggs the greatest distance in a straight line wins. Brute power is no use if the egg is flung back at the audience!
The winning team receives medals and admiration from the rest of the group. The losers... well they’re just rotten eggs.
About
Event Format
This light hearted icebreaker activity is surprisingly effective for getting your delegates’ brains working and groups bonding together… We find the competition becomes fierce just as with our Rocket Launch event; teams really want to send their eggs the furthest!
This team building icebreaker lasts up to an hour, after which we guarantee your group will have had any cobwebs blown away, be revved up for the conference and certainly won’t be ‘chickening out’ of meetings ahead…
Egg Toss is run in the outside space at the venue of your choice and don’t worry about making a mess, we use bouncy, rubber eggs.
