Zoolutions

At-a-Glance

Zoolutions is a half-day program (3.5 hours) working in teams of 4-5. Teams are outfitted with a backpack full of supplies and challenges to complete while exploring a zoo environment in order to better understand business initiatives critical to their organization.

The Facilitators’ Role
