Ship Construction
- Effective team communication
- Creativity and self-expression
- Engineering skills and solution-finding techniques
This complex engineering problem, like the Goldberg Machine, can only be solved through teamwork The entire team. Each team builds one segment of the ship, including a hull section, a mast, rigging elements, and spars. Construction is carried out using simple and clear diagrams that accurately model the ship's actual sail rig.
The ship's height is limited by the ceiling height; the length depends on the number of teams. Average dimensions are 3-4 meters in height and 5-6 meters in length.
During this team building activity, you'll learn basic maritime terms and the difference between a foremast and a mizzenmast, what a topmast is, the purpose of a yardarm, and how to choose the correct bowsprit length.
There can be several ships, each built by three to seven teams. In this case, you can arrange a final competition – whose ship can complete the course the fastest!
In addition to the design task of building the hull and spars, the team building activity includes a creative task of cutting and painting sails. Special paints and markers will allow you to decorate the ship in your corporate style, add your logo and motto, and design a figurehead and stern ensign. Once the sails are ready, they are secured to the yards using rigging – shrouds and stays.
The photo shoot room can be decorated with a nautical or pirate theme – fishing nets, barrels, anchors – and team building participants can be given corporate bandanas or striped shirts.
Once all the ship segments are ready, they are combined into one large ship, and the main event of the program occurs – the teams fill the sails with wind, and the ship races forward at full sail!
Noah's Ark
A team-building project in which a team creates a large model ship using rules as close as possible to those used to build real wooden ships. The model is constructed using adapted historical drawings. A set of frames is installed on the keel frame, then the sides and decks are sheathed. Masts are installed, and spars and rigging are added. Once the sails are set, all that remains is to wait for a favorable wind, and the ship will set sail on its maiden voyage!
