Resumé of exercise
This workshop from day 2 of the Personal Development Module is an exciting exercise that serves to consolidate the creative and enterprise thinking abilities that participants have developed during the training programme. Teams once again work together to construct egg launchers, consolidating their creative and enterprise thinking abilities. Using limited materials teams must make a functional egg launcher, and then test it with real eggs! An opportunity is then given to the participants to reflect on the session and their achievements.
