Dream Team : Working Together As One Teams

Designed to make people think innovatively while working under pressure, our range of challenging design events test creativity and analytical skills. To be successful requires originality, ingenuity and energy!

Flat Out Formula One

Get you team into TOP GEAR in this totally unique experience. Flat Out — Formula 1 teambuilding tests the communication skills, collaboration and resourcefulness of your team whilst constructing the ultimate model kit — an almost full scale Formula 1 racing car!

Using your time effectively is paramount for you and all the other equally determined teams. Working from detailed construction plans, each Formula 1 team has to rally their collective skills to turn a 'flat-pack' kit of materials into the ultimate cardboard driving machine and at the same time, create human-horsepower aiming for perfect synchronisation.

Finally, the Grand Prix moment arrives and all team endeavours will be over in a flicker as the lights flash and all teams compete for the chequered flag!

Flat Out Chariot Challenge

Teams are encouraged to pull together in this inspiring challenge which combines the skills of creativity and communication. Flat Out - Chariot Challenge tests the communication skills, collaboration and creativity of your people to build a full scale Roman or Celtic chariot — against the clock and against each other.

Working from supplied plans, each team has to pull together to turn a 'flat-pack' kit of materials into the ultimate cardboard racing vehicle — machine and human-power working in harmony. The challenge concludes with a race, where the teams pit their chariots against each other in a test of speed and skill, or a gladiator-themed parade in an atmosphere to rival that of the Circus Maximus.

A fun experience that brings out the best in your people and encourages ingenuity, co-operation and good-natured competitiveness.

Flat Out Pyramids

The sky is the limit when teams realise the power of working together. In ancient Egypt a pyramid was much more than a building; it was a symbol of man's ability to overcome the odds and create a magnificent structure that would stand the test of time.

Flat Out - Pyramids gives your teams the opportunity to work together to achieve great things. The activity offers many challenges to any group. In addition to the construction part of the exercise, teams overcome problem-solving elements, network on many levels and express themselves creatively.

The final construction can be decorated to reinforce awareness of conference and company messages. It stands tall as a reminder of the power of working to a common goal.

Flat Out Afloat

The world's most innovative and exciting 'build your own boat' concept!

Teams have to select a design, gather together some unlikely building materials and then combine their individual talents to build a seaworthy vessel. The teams find out that the 'impossible' becomes very achievable when individuals collaborate and co-ordinate their efforts.

They also discover that true leadership and great ideas can often come from those you least expect. The proof of a job well done, takes place on a lake, pool or the open sea. Teams take to the water in a race, regatta, sea battle or full-blown adventure to recover sunken treasure.

Flat Out Rickshaw Rally

Teams are encouraged to pull together in this inspiring challenge which combines the skills of creativity and communication.

Flat Out — Rickshaw Rally tests the communication skills, collaboration and creativity of your people to build a full scale Rickshaw against the clock and against each other. Working from supplied plans, each team has to pull together to turn a 'flat-pack' kit of materials into the ultimate cardboard racing vehicle — 'tricked out' with some Bollywood Bling!

The challenge concludes with a race, where the teams pit their Rickshaws against each other in a test of speed and control. A fun experience that brings out the best in your people and encourages ingenuity, co-operation and good-natured competitiveness.

About the Author

Dream Team Catalyst team building training programmes come with attitude and purpose. We do not spoon feed participants; we allow them to create real working scenarios where success or failure will depend on how well people perform as a team. More often than not there is a need to network with other teams towards a common goal, but on other occasions the skills shown in a competitive activity by the most successful teams become a model for other teams to emulate, sharing best practise and increasing productivity.

what should I get for the maximus III (3) formula motherboard?

should i get i5 or i7 LGA 1156?
it supports dual channel DDR3 memory (4 slots 1.5v)
it comes with a sound card i don't need to worry about that.
it has 2 SATA slots but i only want 1 HDD over 1tb preferably.
it has 2 pci express graphics card slots.

i know a fair bit about computer but what do you think i should put in it and can you give a link to were i can get the stuff. It will be used for gaming but i don't want to spend to much on it because im 15. i think the most i will probably spend (not including graphics card) is around 1k. 1.5k with graphics card.

Actually it has 8 internal SATA ports! Its such a nice board I wouldn't think of anything less than an i7, the 860 seems to be most popular. use 4GB (2x2GB) 1600 DDR3 something like this..http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
I wouldn't worry about a sound card, the one that comes with the board is good.
Here's a good 1T drive... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284
You really only need 1 good Video card preferably a HD 5770 or GTX460...OR BETTER. Intel seems to work better with Nvidia cards..look at...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130550
