The Catapult Engineering Experience is an engaging experiential training format that combines creativity, teamwork, and applied engineering principles. Inspired by the ingenuity of Ancient Roman engineers and the inventive spirit of Archimedes and Leonardo da Vinci, this session challenges teams to design, build, and test functional catapults using limited resources and strategic collaboration.
More than a simple construction activity, it’s a hands-on learning experience that strengthens communication, planning, and alignment under real-time problem-solving conditions. Teams must work together to balance precision, innovation, and efficiency — transforming technical thinking into coordinated action.
The result? A dynamic session where participants not only have fun but also experience the power of engineering thinking, teamwork, and shared achievement — all essential to high-performing, aligned organizations.
Team Alignment Engineering was created to address a vital capability in today’s corporate world — the ability to adapt, innovate, and collaborate under uncertainty. In any organization, success depends on how effectively teams respond to new challenges, design creative solutions, and align around common goals.
This format translates that reality into a powerful experiential simulation: teams are challenged to plan, design, and build an original structure within limited time and resources. The process demands strategic thinking, adaptability, teamwork, and value alignment — mirroring the very skills required to navigate complex business environments.
Each construction becomes a metaphor for the company itself: every piece matters, every connection counts, and the final outcome reflects how well the team communicates, collaborates, and stays aligned toward a shared purpose.
