Team Building Exercises at Discovery High School
Fence Exercise
Students had to figure out how to get through the fence without touching the ropes, while keeping connected to each other.
Shelter Exercise
Students had to build a shelter that would fit eight people inside.
Bridge Exercise
Students had to work together to get from one island to another using two boards. The boards could not touch the ground.
Principles of Engineering: Balloon Pop
WHS students in the Principles of Engineering PLTW class built complex machines from VEX equipment to pop balloons. Pictures are from Dave Bergin's 6th period class. All the balloons popped, eventually:)
