Do The Drone Challenge

Know The Activity

Do The Drone Challenge is a hands-on team experience that puts cutting-edge technology in the hands of everyday people, no engineering degree required. Teams build their own drones from scratch, learn the basics of operation, design and tackle obstacle courses, and go head-to-head in a series of skill challenges that culminate in one epic final showdown. It's loud, it's competitive, and it's the kind of activity that has people talking long after the rotors stop spinning.

Group Size

Up to 100 People

LOCATION

Outdoor

Duration

90 to 120 minutes

Why should you choose it?

Puts teams in completely unfamiliar territory, which is exactly where real collaboration happens


Balances technical thinking with creative problem-solving in equal measure


Energises groups who’ve outgrown the usual team building playbook


Creates natural moments of leadership, delegation, and trust under pressure


Leaves participants with a genuine sense of achievement as they built something that actually flies

Result

Teams walk away having done something they genuinely didn’t think they could. The process of building, failing, adjusting, and eventually flying creates a shared story that translates directly back to the workplace, because that’s exactly what great teams do every day. Beyond the buzz of the final challenge, participants leave more confident in each other’s abilities and more willing to tackle the unknown together.

Learning Outcome

Collaboration: Divide roles and responsibilities to build and operate effectively as one unit


Problem-Solving: Diagnose and fix real challenges under time pressure and competitive stakes


Creativity: Design obstacle courses and strategies that outsmart the competition


Resilience: Regroup quickly when the drone and the plan don’t go as expected


Adaptability: Adjust approach on the fly as challenges evolve throughout the session

Chaotic in the best possible way. There’s a lot of noise, laughter, and the occasional crash, which usually gets the biggest cheer of the day.

Especially so. Teams that spend most of their time in meetings and on screens tend to surprise themselves the most, and that surprise is incredibly powerful for team dynamics.

Teams put everything they’ve learned, building, flying, strategy, and coordination, into one last head-to-head competition. It’s the moment the whole session builds toward.

Most teams talk about how quickly they had to trust each other. When you’re navigating a drone through an obstacle course you designed yourself, there’s no room for hesitation, and that kind of trust doesn’t stay at the activity. It comes back to work with them.
