The Challenge
What makes Airport Makeover Challenge work?
What makes the Airport Makeover Challenge work is that it hands teams a familiar, complex space and asks them to reimagine it using design-thinking methods. Groups research traveller pain points, brainstorm improvements and build a model concept for a better airport experience. Because the brief is open-ended, success depends on listening, prioritising and turning many ideas into one coherent solution.
- Teams explore the airport brief and map out the experience problems to solve
- Groups run structured ideation and prototype their makeover concept
- Models are designed and built collaboratively from supplied materials
- Each team presents and defends its redesigned airport to the room
The Result
What Airport Makeover Challenge delivers for your team

The build-and-present format rewards clear communication and shared ownership, strengthening how groups make decisions together. Most importantly, participants see that creative problem-solving is a teachable method, not just a talent.
