About Us


Founded in Aveiro, Portugal, The 1st Floor Challenge is a workshop different from any you've ever done.
Forget the long hours of monotonous explanations. We believe learning should be as compelling as your favourite game! In only one day, you'll learn how to manage a team project like a pro, and a chance to fly your own drone. It almost sounds too good to be true.

We teach the best practices of Project Management, Sustainability, and Innovation, all in an engaging Team Building activity.

Implement your knowledge in a real project, by managing your team's drone building, and be proud of your project when you see it fly!
