Participants will work collaboratively in a team to design a paper plane that can maneuver through an obstacle course of hoops hung from the ceiling to 'rescue' a LEGO figurine and return to the start.
This activity encourages participants to think creatively to solve the difficulty of navigating the hoops, as well as test a number of prototypes in order to determine the best plane design.
Time: 10 min
Welcome attendees to the session. Introduce yourself and other staff and run over the housekeeping e.g. Fire evacuation, toilets etc. and quickly explain what we will be doing in this session. Show an example of a PowerUp 3.0 and what can be achieved with the paper plane kit.
