A course built from the surroundings.
D.N.A. teamed with the OK Program of Oakland to build a natural-resource obstacle course. Hosts and team leaders paired the physical obstacles with a quiz show for middle- and high-school youth.
From the web series to a live course run.
The D.N.A. crew brought the show into a live obstacle-course experience for Oakland children. Watch the participants, the course, and the crew in action.
The next direction
Reusable obstacles. Community engineering.
Our modular, collapsible, and community-build concepts extend this foundation. Explore the development direction alongside our live experiences.
