The group had to focus on working together to achieve a common goal, and create a solution and present it - in 3 hours.
Their entertaining presentation involved laser drills which could extract water from the Earth's core, a duplication machine for replicating trees (which the planet was too weak to grow), crucial phone calls from 'the Government', essential lightweight titanium discussion and a Mayor who got to make the ultimate decision. I was also treated to the comedy stylings of Thomas Andrew during the scene change!
The team were all given feedback and feedforward about their task commitment and effort - it was great to watch them all work together over a sustained period and produce work to be proud of.
It really was quite special to do this exercise...the lines blurred between work and play as the students embraced their roles and ad-libbed - the contextual phone calls held by different characters showed real commitment and it was great fun to watch them pull their ideas together.
