Helpful Tips

Each DIY Life Cycles™ Kit is recommended to be built in groups of 4, but the kit can be built with less than 4.
Prior to building the bikes, someone from your team will need to reach out to a youth agency in your area (Boys and Girls Club, YMCA, etc) to find a deserving child to donate the bike to. This activity works best when the ‘customer’ (aka child) receives the bike in person. Please note: Before giving the bike to a child, please have a qualified bike mechanic approve the safety of the bicycle.

FAQ

How long is the program?

The program is 60 minutes to 3 hours depending on your objectives and agenda. If you are just aiming to build bikes and give them to children later, you might only need 60 minutes. With expert facilitation using the program as a ‘business simulation’, bringing the children in to surprise your participants and sufficient time for debrief and application into work, you will need up to 3 hours. There is plenty of flexibility depending on your agenda, the context and desired objectives of the experience.

What are the key lessons learned?

A Customer-Centric mindset
The distinction between collaboration and competition
The difference between purpose-driven and task-driven work
The value of community

How many people per Life Cycles™ Kit?

We recommend 4 to 5 people working together on each bike kit, but depending on budget anywhere from 2 to 6 people can work on one kit.

What do we do with the supplies and finished product(s) after the program?

You will be donating the bicycles, helmets and lock sets to a local youth organization of your choosing; and return the tool sets back to Odyssey Teams using the prepaid return shipping label.
