Teams must design and build the fastest, successful domino rally given a set of specific elements to include. However, they have the opportunity to attempt an array of challenges that will allow them to remove tricky sections from their rally and enhance their chance of success. Strategically, some teams may choose not to complete the challenges and use every item in their box. Will that strategy pay off?
Once the domino rallies are complete, teams mingle and discuss each other’s design before the rallies are set in motion. The winning team will have the fastest working domino rally that satisfies all of the predetermined criteria. Plus, there is always an opportunity to receive an award for the most creative design.
With the challenge to create the fastest and most efficient domino rally, collective decision-making is a must. Teams learn the importance of prototyping and patience in testing to ensure the final project is successful. Perhaps one of the most visually inspiring lessons in the importance of team planning and decision-making that has ever been devised.
