Welcome to the iLab!
Today we will review some of the rules and procedures that we will be using this year in the Innovation Lab (iLab)
Teamwork!!
What does teamwork look like in the iLab?
The Pipeline Challenge provides participants an opportunity to plan and communicate as a team, to learn how to overcome difficulties together and to make changes to the original plan in order to complete a task.
Objective: To plan and work as a team to move a ball by creating a track from Point A to Point B.
Instructions:
Objective: To plan and work as a team to move a ball by creating a track from Point A to Point B.
Instructions:
- Form a line with your team. The person at one end of the line has the cup. Place the cup on the ground. The person at the opposite end has the ball.
- The goal is to have the ball land in the cup without touching the ball once in motion. The paper is to be used as the track. The ball must remain in motion at all times. If the ball stops or falls off the track, start over! The ball must land inside the cup at the end of the track.
- Once the team accomplishes the task, move the cup farther way. You can even move it across the room!
The Rules: - The ball may not touch the ground at any time.
- No one may touch the ball at any time once it enters the designated area with their fingers.
- Each person must be involved in the process of moving the ball. (Do NOT hold ball through the paper)
- If any of these rules are broken, the group must start over.
- If successful, your team must lengthen the pipeline.
