Blueprint
Materials Required:
• Cut pipes or tubes (varying lengths and diameters)
• Marbles
• Open space or designated activity area
• Stopwatch or timer (optional)
Team Formation:
• Divide participants into a single team or multiple teams (based on group size)
• Encourage diversity in team composition for varied perspectives
Pre-Activity Briefing:
• Explain the rules and objectives of the activity clearly
• Demonstrate the materials and their intended usage
• Emphasize the importance of communication, coordination, and resource management
Setup:
• Designate a starting and ending point for the marble's path
• Distribute the cut pipes and marbles among team members
• Ensure adequate spacing for team members to move and align the pipes
Activity Execution:
• Teams must work together to create a continuous path using the cut pipes
• The path should allow the marble to roll from the starting point to the ending point
• Team members must align and connect the pipes dynamically as the marble progresses
• Encourage teams to devise strategies for efficient resource allocation and path creation
• Introduce time constraints or challenges (e.g., limited materials, obstacles) for added difficulty
Scoring and Evaluation:
• Evaluate teams based on their ability to successfully guide the marble through the path
• Consider additional criteria such as teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and resource management
• Introduce a scoring system (e.g., time-based, distance-based) for competitive scenarios
