Have any questions?
How does this activity promote cross-functional integration?
Teams design connected sections of one gravity-powered track, so they must coordinate their work and make each handoff fit the whole system.
What kind of challenges do teams face during the build?
Teams must plan a continuous route, connect sections, and test the track so the ball can travel from start to finish without interruption.
How does VeloceCoaster help break silos?
No team can complete the rollercoaster alone. Each group depends on other teams to connect their sections into one working rail system.
What skills are most tested in this challenge?
Strategic alignment, communication, engineering, shared ownership, and seeing how each part contributes to the bigger picture.
