Description
Operation Horizon: A collaborative navigation mission in Wicklow
Operation Horizon combines three linked missions in the Wicklow hills. Teams use maps and GPS to find clues and equipment, then bring their discoveries together for a shared construction challenge.
How does Operation Horizon work?
3 separate missions combine as part of one overall mission.
Teams are dropped at 3 separate locations in the Wicklow hills. They have a guide for safety, but they must learn to use their own map and GPS to solve the clues along the way and complete the challenges successfully. The end goal is to discover the information, plans and equipment to build the first hydrogen fuel powered car by working together. Teams will have to navigate cross country for 3-4 hours to get to the final location whilst completing the challenges en-route.
Underlying Principle:
No sub team has full information until all mission sub tasks are complete. They will lack the essential equipment required that must be obtained by working with the other teams. Teams will not have a clear overall or prescribed path to follow. They are all interdependent. Only communication and collaboration will slowly reveal the evolving and changing mission.
