How does it work?

Teams will be provided various building parameters and go through several phases of the program:

  • Planning and Budgeting – Each team will be given a budget for materials, supplies, building consulting to be used for purchasing basic supplies including cardboard, tape, box cutters, and other materials. The groups will have to come up with a strategy to effectively use their available resources.
  • Aircraft Design – Teams will work together to build a functional and aesthetically pleasing aircraft. The customer, FullTilt Travel, has specific design requirements and requests that should be followed in order to win the FullTilt Travel’s aircraft building contract.
  • Project Management Twists – Our facilitators will throw the curve real business curve balls including human capital changes, new design parameters, changing time constraints, or mandatory use of certain materials – things that a team might experience in their real day to day.
  • Flight Test and Distance – Teams will transport their airplanes to a nearby hill or top of a small building or structure for an entertaining airshow. The teams will be awarded points based on the airplanes functionality, flight distance, aerodynamics and aesthetics.

They were all incredibly helpful, fun, professional, and just plain great at their jobs. Such amazing attitudes, professionalism, and willingness to adapt.

    On behalf of the Management team, I would like to officially Thank You for leading our teams today through “End Hunger Games”! The feedback from our community was overwhelmingly positive and a great way to end our day. The donation to the Food Bank resonated with us all and was the best part of the exercise.

    I liked that different people can come together quickly when genuine effort is applied. We learned how to work together effectively. Teams can work well together when everyone is given space and opportunity to do what they do best. Teamwork can be achieved in a hectic setting.

    I think interactive experimental learning is a key way of learning. It is fun, gets the mind and body involved in the principles being taught, and creates a team environment that overcomes typical barriers like restlessness, titles, etc.
