The details
How Pipeline works
Pipeline is an exciting hands-on collaboration experience where teams design and build interconnected sections of a large marble delivery system. Each sub-team is responsible for constructing one portion of the build, and success depends on clear communication, careful planning, and strong alignment across the entire group. The activity fosters a lively environment where creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork converge under real-time pressure.
Participants take part in every phase of the project, from brainstorming and conceptual design to construction, testing, and refinement. Using materials such as PVC piping, bamboo, and rope, teams work both independently and collaboratively to ensure their section supports the smooth travel of marbles across the full structure. The final moment, when the entire system runs smoothly from start to finish, delivers a powerful shared sense of accomplishment.
To ensure a great experience, aspects of these activities may be modified to accommodate your group size, group makeup, available time, and other relevant variables.
Program Agenda
The experience begins with a high-energy kickoff activity that introduces participants to the core challenge and sets a collaborative tone. Teams then move into a structured planning phase, mapping out how their section of the Pipeline will function and how it will connect to the adjacent groups. Once plans are set, construction begins, with teams crafting their assigned portions using provided materials while communicating with neighboring teams to ensure compatibility.
After the building is complete, the entire group participates in a testing and refinement period before gathering to witness the whole system in action.
