Take Flight Challenge: A Unique Team Building Experience

The Containment team believe that teamwork is the cornerstone of success in any organisation. Our Take Flight Challenge is a thrilling team building activity designed to foster collaboration, creativity, and communication. Perfect for companies looking to enhance their team’s ability to work together, this challenge pushes participants to think on their feet and combine their strengths to reach new heights – metaphorically.

What is the Take Flight Challenge?

The Take Flight Challenge is an immersive, hands-on team building activity where teams are tasked with designing and constructing a single seater aircraft. Using limited materials and a set timeframe, participants must collaborate to plan, build, and launch their creation, aiming to achieve the longest ‘flight’ distance or most innovative design.

Whether you are looking to engage your team in problem-solving, enhance communication, or build leadership skills, the Take Flight Challenge offers a dynamic platform to encourage collaboration. As each team works on their aircraft, they will need to manage resources, allocate tasks based on individual strengths, and strategise under time constraints.

Key Benefits of the Take Flight Challenge

  1. Enhances Communication
    The Take Flight Challenge encourages open dialogue and active listening among team members. Clear and effective communication is essential as each person contributes ideas and technical skills to build the aircraft.
  2. Fosters Creativity and Innovation
    With limited materials, teams must think outside the box to design a functional aircraft. The challenge inspires creativity, pushing teams to explore innovative solutions to achieve their goals.
  3. Develops Problem-Solving Skills
    To successfully build the aircraft teams must overcome a range of challenges. Teams must work together to identify and solve these problems, making quick decisions under pressure.
  4. Strengthens Team Cohesion
    Working towards a common goal helps build trust and camaraderie within the team. By leveraging individual strengths, participants learn the value of collaboration and the importance of working together to succeed.
  5. Encourages Leadership and Delegation
    As teams work to complete their aircraft, natural leadership skills emerge. Effective delegation and the ability to motivate teammates are key to achieving success in the Take Flight Challenge.
