Allianz team building workshop

Overview

Event date: Sunday June 10th Event Time: 9am~13pm

The workshop goal is to have a group of 40 people building robots together as a team work.

The workshop is about building robots like the Chopstick Junior of Lutz.
2 robots will be build by the end of the workshop
There will be 40 people divided in 2 teams, the first one will be from 9am to 11am and the second one will be from 11:30am to 13:30pm.
The participants are going to be 40 to 60 years old Italians, top insurance sellers, 50% do not speak english and they are all generally not tech savvy.
The first team will build the structure, the second team mount the electronics.
Each team need to be divided in 2 subgroups. Each subgroup will develop 1 robot.
XCJ staff
- Lutz will be the teaching leader
- 2 Italian speakers are required from XCJ to assist (Lio and Andrea).
- They also require a fourth assistant, possibly female (Min Lin).
The step by step building instructions will be projected on the wall during the workshop to facilitate the building.
The aim of the workshop is to promote team building among the groups and expose them to an innovative tech world.
- So our workshop do not focus on let them understand how to make a robot working, but to successfully accomplish the mission together.
- To achieve this we probably want to pre-assemble some parts of the robots, and make the overall process easier, more focused on the team building than on the technological part.
