Creative team building in Redwood City: teams earn materials, build sustainable gliders and compete for the farthest glide and top flight speed.
Some groups in Redwood City want a challenge that feels like a design sprint with a payoff you can watch. This program delivers it. Teams work through experiential puzzles and light physical tasks to earn building supplies, then design, construct and decorate sustainable gliders before launching them in a series of air games. The crew travels to your office, campus, park or large indoor venue and runs the full session from first icebreaker to final medal. Every guest has a role, from sketching the wing shape to calling the countdown on the launch line.

Made for builders and thinkers
Product groups and engineering orgs tend to love it, which is why it sits high on lists of engineering team building activities, yet nobody needs a background in aerodynamics. It also suits offsites, conferences, holiday parties and summer gatherings where a mixed crowd needs something hands on.
The flight plan
- Takeoff: an icebreaker forms teams of 6 to 8, with a wristband method for groups of 80 or more
- Earn it: team challenges mix light movement with problem solving, and each win unlocks materials
- Build: teams design and decorate sustainable gliders from cardboard, paper, tape, glue and tools
- Air games: farthest glide, top flight speed and most creative design
- Podium: medals for the winning teams
Supplies and staffing
Everything comes with the crew: a professional host, one facilitator for every 20 to 30 guests, all building materials, plus stickers, decals and decorative add ons for team flair. Setup, facilitation and cleanup are handled for you. Medals go to first place, with second and third added for groups of 75 or more. Challenges can be tailored to a theme or goal you want the session to reinforce.
Why the format sticks
Among team building challenges, this one rewards real collaboration. Teams have to agree on a design, divide the build, test, adjust and decide when a glider is ready to fly. Those are the habits that carry back to the office, which makes it a natural pick for team building activities for creative thinking. The eco friendly angle matters too: the gliders use sustainable materials rather than single use kits.
Indoors, outdoors and big rooms
It runs as one of the more memorable outdoor team building activities on a lawn or field, and it works just as well in a large indoor hall with open air space for launches. Groups from 6 to 1,000 guests can play, and the parallel team structure keeps it practical as team building for large groups. Plan on 90 minutes.
Questions planners ask
Do teams need any building experience? No; facilitators demonstrate simple folds and structures, and the challenges hand out materials gradually, so every team ends up with a glider that flies. What if the weather turns? A large indoor room with a high ceiling keeps the air games running. Is creative team building like this good for a mixed audience? Yes, because roles range from designing and decorating to launching and judging, so every personality finds a job.
Who is behind it
The program comes from a California crew that has delivered team events since 2011 across thousands of teams in Silicon Valley and beyond, and it travels to your venue anywhere in the state. Weekday events need about four to six weeks of lead time; December parties and summer retreats book eight to twelve weeks out.
