A case Study:
What Outcomes Was the Client Looking For:
Our client wanted to provide their students with a unique, exciting and engaging challenge that adequately addressed the Travel Education Framework requirements. The program needed to ensure that students could independently and confidently navigate their way around the public transport system in Melbourne, whilst also promoting student connection, communication and trust.
Where
Melbourne CBD
Number of Students
190
Overview of the Experience:
The students excitedly gathered at Federation Square with a sense of anticipation hanging in the air. We began with a thorough briefing and detailed explanation on how to use our custom built application that would serve as the digital guide for the next three hours. Upon completion of the briefing the students were given time to strategise with their team of five for the challenge ahead, before they were given the green light, and the race began.
Each team was challenged to navigate their way to upwards of 30 geo-locked checkpoints around the Melbourne CBD. The checkpoint locations were specifically selected as various points of interest for the students and included iconic landmarks such as Captain Cooks Cottage, the Botanical Gardens, the State Library and Parliament House.
Once students arrived at each location this is when the real competition began. Upon arrival at the correct destination the app opened with a question about the specific location. Students then had to work together to answer the questions correctly if they wanted to earn the maximum points available.
But this challenge offered more than just trivia questions, with three compulsory team building challenges that needed to be completed. These team building challenges had to be completed correctly in order for teams to be able to move on to further rounds.
As the clock ticked down, teams raced back to the final checkpoint at Federation Square. Upon arrival teams scores were tallied as we drew closer to the nail-biting conclusion of the event. But there can only be one winner and as the final scores were tallied, the School EDventure champions were crowned. As the crowd applauded the whole group was smiling, knowing that the day had brought lifelong memories that they would be talking about for years to come.
What did the Students Learn:
The students from this Victorian school walked away with an unparalleled confidence and independence. They were comfortable in their knowledge and abilities to use and navigate public transport around Melbourne, which are skills that they would take with them long into the future. They also were able to discover the very best that Melbourne CBD has to offer, gaining key knowledge around Melbourne’s history. The increase of communication, connection and collaboration felt throughout the year level has only continued to grow long after the programs conclusion.
“The team at Corporate Challenge Events are brilliant at what they do. They engage well with our VCE students and always manage to bring out exactly what we are looking for – an enhanced team spirit and demonstration of leadership skills. No request seems to be too difficult for them. We have engaged their services for a few years running now and we are very pleased with the outcome every time.”
“Overall, it was an excellent event! Dwain and Anita were wonderful to work with. We’ve had a series of great events over the past few years and we’re really excited to continue the relationship with Corporate Challenge. Thank you for your work on our event. We were really happy with it!”
