Hovercraft Masterclass (Interacting with others and healthy communities)

Part 1: Leadership & Empowerment
Students dive into their Empowerment Journals to audit their leadership styles. They set personal intentions for the build, focusing on how individual accountability creates a foundation for Healthy Communities.

Part 2: The innovation challenge
As construction begins, teams must navigate complex group dynamics. Students apply critical thinking and advanced problem-solving, discovering the “grit” required to lead a team through technical transitions.

Part 3: Interacting with others
In this high-pressure phase, students practice sharp conflict-resolution and empathy. They examine how inclusive behaviors and respectful communication are essential to maintaining safety and team harmony.

Part 4: Auditing success
Using their journals, students reflect on their Self-Management during the challenge. They analyse how their decision-making influenced the team’s progress and identify the “bounce-back” resilience needed for future success.

Part 5: Community lift-off
It’s time to ride! Shared success in the hovercraft challenge breaks down social barriers while strengthening identity, connection, and a sense of belonging. Students lift, race, and glide in their own creation before taking their journals home to cement their learning.
