Creative Challenge
The Creative Build Challenge pushes teams to think outside the box using limited resources. This activity is brilliant for fostering innovation and problem-solving skills in a low-stakes environment. By limiting materials to basic office supplies, the focus shifts from the tools to the ideas. It’s a great way to see how different people approach a problem and pitch their solutions.
How to run it
- 1.Give each team a bag of random office supplies (paperclips, sticky notes, cups).
- 2.Announce the challenge theme (e.g., 'build the tallest tower' or 'design a new office gadget').
- 3.Start a 15-minute timer for the building phase.
- 4.Give each team 1 minute to pitch or present their creation.
- 5.Have a panel of 'judges' (or the whole group) vote on the winner.
Pro Tips
- Provide unexpected items like marshmallows or pipe cleaners if possible.
- Set a strict time limit to encourage quick decision-making.
- Emphasize that the 'pitch' is just as important as the build itself.
