Engineering Retreat Ideas

Question

In 6 months, we will have an engineering retreat (flying remote folks in, hotel rooms, etc) where we'll meet at our home office (between Ventura, CA and Santa Barbra, CA). It will be about 30 folks, most of which have never met before. With a budget of about $65 p/p p/day does anyone have any recommendations for activities?Building something that each person can take back home would be a plus; the cost of Raspberry Pi's has us considering alternatives...I'm open to anything!

If you want a useful activity, I would let the regural teams do their regular stuff but in person. Otherwise, just resting, discussing the company updates, eating, having fun.We are a smaller team but I really don't see a point in over-saturating it with random activities, just let people meet each other.
