The PuffMobile Challenge

Creativity, problem solving and teamwork...plus a little hot air.

 

 

It's like Apollo 13 without astronauts. The PuffMobile challenge requires the teams to use very limited supplies to build a vehicle that can travel across great distances...only powered by the air from their own lungs!

 

The amazing results demonstrated that the students had developed several critical skills:

 

1. Problem Solving

The ability to use resources to solve a complex problem.

 

2. Creativity

Assembling a mixed bag of supplies to build a working machine requires lots of great ideas and plenty of creativity.

 

3. Energy

This was no easy task and required a focused amount of energy and desire to make things work.

 

4. Flexibility

This challenge generated lots of ideas and the teams demonstrated a willingness to try them all...working and re-working things until they got results.

 

Apply these skills and you'll be able to solve problems and work well with others.
