We’re kicking off with something hands-on: Build It. It’s an immersive experience where you build something, quite literally.

You’ll be provided with materials such as PVC tubing, wooden buttons, containers, cardboard, paper, wire, string, glue and a host of useful tools to shape them.

The concept is straightforward; you’re split up into groups of 6-8 and are tasked with designing something – anything – and building it. See, simple. The only limit is your imagination, and all you have to do is make something cooler than the other team(s).

And plus, they also provide refreshments, snacks and meal options if you’re interested!
