What To Expect

Our experienced event managers will welcome your team, introduce the activity, explain it’s purpose, and begin the challenge.

We’ll kick things off with a fun LEGO energiser that teams quickly get stuck into. Then it’s on to the first challenge: building the prosthetic hand – expect fun twists that add a little extra challenge!

We’ll finish with team photos and a short reflection, celebrating your team’s effort and the difference you’ve made.
