Induction with new Games Dev Yr1

First week completed, got through lots of "must do" stuff, but finished off with some fun.
The old classic team building task using balloons to build a chair, with cello tape, rubber bands and some cardboard. Worked a treat, with the final quest being that it had to hold a team members weight, with their feet off the floor too. Slight twist this year....lightest member first, then the ultimate challenge.....the heaviest team member. Photos below!
