This activity not only tests communication and critical thinking skills but also emphasizes the importance of collaboration in diverse teams.

3. Chain-Reaction

Key Learning Points: Creative thinking, big-picture perspective, cross-department communication

Using specific materials, teams will take on the challenge of building a large chain-reaction machine.

This complex chain reaction reflects how different departments within a company coordinate efforts, fostering stronger teamwork and reinforcing a big-picture perspective.

4. Gear Up for the Catch

Operating the "fishing gear" requires close cooperation and clear leadership, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and coordination in achieving shared goals.

Participants are divided into teams and must race against the clock to complete a series of challenges, collect materials, and construct a designated castle design.

Key Learning Points: Creative thinking, teamwork, cross-department communication

Teams will become urban architects who design and build a specific area of a city. Each area must include certain buildings, and all areas will come together to create a beautiful miniature city.

Success depends on creativity, teamwork, and good communication between teams to complete the city.
