Challenges and activities target learning areas such as problem-solving, trust, communication, group roles, resilience, giving and receiving honest feedback, goals and strategy, social awareness, emotional awareness, leadership, and self-care. Bouncing back from apparent failure is a key learning area, where students learn that failures can guide them towards success. Students get to see firsthand the benefits of having a growth mindset. Students are encouraged to set personal goals from their learning journey.

Activity debriefing utilises a variety of creative approaches to encourage students to explore the experience, extract any discoveries or learning and apply it to their lives. Debriefing seeks to acknowledge positive and negative feelings, reactions, tensions, processes and identify skills demonstrated to solve the challenge.
