Teambuilding
Construction Activities
These activities encourage all members of the team
to contribute their ideas and strategies to complete the construction activity.
The most successful teams are those who collaborate and value all team member’s
suggestions and contribute these ideas to the ultimate design.
SAND PRIX - SOAPBOX DERBY
  The team’s goal is to design and build the fastest race car. Teams
will design and sketch out their car’s blueprint before beginning assembly.
Each car must be capable of steering, braking and hold a designated number of
people. Then teams race their vehicles through a course.
 TEAM
BLIMP CONSTRUCTION
Each team will
construct a "Team Blimp" (similar to that of the Goodyear Blimp) to
carry as much weight as possible over and across an expanse. Small weights
must be attached and carried by the Teams' "Blimp" flying creation.
TEAM
BARGE CONSTRUCTION 
Given the same
supplies, each team must construct a miniature ship less than three feet long to
float with the most "cargo" on board as possible.
FRUIT
CAR RACES
 Each team will construct a miniature "fruit mobile" which will
race down a large ramp against other teams' colorful creations.
"Vehicles" will be constructed from assorted fruits and vegetables
such as apples, bananas, carrots, toothpicks, skewers, and other delicacies.
Creativity counts in this fun, creative, juicy event.
BRIDGE
BUILDING
Team members
construct a bridge to span an expanse with
specified materials.
This bridge is to be designed to hold as much weight as possible. The
weight will be attached to the bridge to test the bridge’s weight
tolerances. The team that constructs the bridge that holds the most weight wins!
BALLOON
TOWERS
 Given
supplies and minor structural devices, each team must construct a self supported
tower as high as possible.
