The goal of this unforgettable experience was to mix students from different groups and foster new collaborations within the EEE department.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The evening started with a drinks hangout at union bar where the attendants got to know about each other before the team building event. The Crystal Maze Experience was a truly interactive, frenetic and funny team challenge. Expertly guided by the Maze Master, the two teams of students journeyed through four different adventure zones: Aztec, Industrial, Futuristic and Medieval. Along the way, the teams faced lots of challenging tasks and games. Every challenge successfully completed won each team a crystal. Every Crystal earned, gave more time in the very final challenge: The Crystal Dome. Here, the teams had to work together to catch as many tokens as possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The event was a great success, with a big turnout of 16 students. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed building teamwork and social skills. EEE PhDs were very happy to meet new people from the department in such a fun way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/icpostgrad\/files\/2019\/08\/Capture.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"539\" class=\"size-full wp-image-728 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/icpostgrad\/files\/2019\/08\/Capture.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first Crystal Maze event connecting PhD students from the department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, took place on Friday 5th of April.
